my time has come to face facts 1 if not both of my tubs are on there way out (smokey smokey tell passengers the big cloud of smoke behind me is off the tyres :) ) so gonna start lookin for a new pair the only thing is im on a budget of about a grand.gonna do the work myself never pulled a zed engine before but theres got to be a first time.what tubs am i gonna get for around that price?

AMZ Stage II's and JWT Sport 500's are about that price I believe. Delivery and tax could put price over budget though.

Recon stock tubs would be less than £1k

thamks ill take a look at those. dont really want to go down the stock route as im runnin 16psi at the mo.(prolly why tubbies are goin :( )

Thats what i had lots of smoke, and i mean clouds of it mainly at traffic lights, funny now but not then...!

Got new 360 deg ones from smithy, isn't it lots of smoke on idle the seals, and they don't give up on the 360 ones. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Id had 360 deg ones put on about a year ago. smoke on idle and a flat spot,im now saving for the stage three ones 2k inc fitting ect.

like the look of the amz stage twos anyone on here using em ?

you can do the replacment in situe you dont need to remove the engne . keeps things intact in the engine bay .

ive heared it can be done without removing the engine but i feel it would be less work to pull the engine and do it on a stand.just to make sure you can get everything torqued up correctly.but if you know of a way of gettin at them without pulling engine id welcome the advice :) (also good time to change the loom :) )

IMHO it's not worth replacing them with engine in situ - take the opportunity to do a few other jobs while the lumps out... everything's easier with it pulled.

 

I've also heard a few horror stories of turbo failures after people have doine in situ...
