lol not at the shop today ... just pm'd u Alan Mark

lol thats some funny shite .... u sure its not a wind up cuz who in the right mind would sell a car or do something like that to it ....

Yes I know but u can not buy the adaptor that you need .... Just buy a new one and charge the garage for it ...

yep i know its a fooka but u live and learn

ok the one i have is the silver ver of this one and i'm sure its the same one that alex just got too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SANDWICH-PLATE-OIL-PRESSURE-TEMP-SENSOR-BLUE-/270867889790?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f10fbfe7e

Well I'm Back from Dorset with a new turbo .... none warrantied like my gut feeling all along ... after inspecting the turbo it failed due to Oil starvation they found and showed me Rubber/silicone item with in the Oil re-stricter where this came from not sure ... not sure if it was from the braided lines or from old Oil fittings so i'm another £450 quid lighter so tomorrows job is get the engine back in :)

ok ok i'm here ... just been to Dorset today ... 450 mile round trip ya know u all can send PM's to me now

I had a pair from China just like those ... One didn't last 12months had a good pic ... One working with a flicker

yeah i do understand all of that ... but to what i can see there has been plenty of oil getting to it to the point when i undid the line oil poured out ... same with the drain line the shaft of the turbo is bent on the exhaust side and yes bearings are shot too

you got any thoughts on my turbo problem .. ( bent ) would like to know what u think jeff ... Mark

you have replys in the other thread u posted in .. but i can only recommend Midland Turbos £195+vat inc 360 bearing

would say thats easy to do knowing how hard it is to get that pipe in fitted right .. was it even clamped up on the inlet pipe ?

the Tubs came from the Turbo Dynamics in UK ... all my fitting kit came from Z1 for the same tubs i'm hoping to take them tomorrow and get it sorted there and then was a saving of around £700 doing it this way but wasnt expecting it to fail luck'y i'm doing the work my self ...

god knows ... i think its down to incorrect temping of the shaft when it was made ... and with the heat of the turbo ... well as u see it bent if it was something that was ingested they would be impeller/compressor damage to the majority of the blades the only damage is to the very outer edge tips where its been touching the housing due to the wobble

Z1 ... it was a complete gt 2560r fitting kit .. for that turbo ..

had some Emails from them all ready Old'st at bottem ... new at top Hi Mark, Unfortunately we do not cover any costs incurred from removal/re-fitting/additonal parts etc. Our warranty is exactly that, a warranty. It is not insurance against other costs (I know this sounds blunt, but easier for us to be on the same page!). With regards to warranty, nothing is decided or finalised until the turbochargers have been fully inspected. The shaft bending may of course be down to imperfections in the turbine shaft, but there also many other reasons why this may occur. I'm off to the airport now, and won't have access to my emails until wedsnesday, but please feel free to get in touch with my colleagues (Matt Waterman is technical team leader and will be up to date with this tomorrow).

I cannot confirm whether we have another Gt2860 on the shelf either - this will have to be checked tomorrow. My colleagues will be receiving these emails so they will be up to date. Remember the warranty form I sent will also need to accompany the turbos. Regards, Tom

its not the point tho .. i still have to find time to do it and that cost's ££££ Need New Oil Filter 5lt Oil Gaskets for turbos Borrowed engine lift Neil's Time and Fuel My Time and Disappointment Missing a big'sh Show .. so yeah should be something there for me

Well as most of you know not had a good time with my car ... and had to take my engine out again due to a brand New turbo failing .. And a big Thank you to ( Sayers ) Neil coming around today to led me a hand in taking the engine out for a 3rd time in less than a year ... m8 thanks very much your help was appreciated loads and if i can return the fava in any way i will :) any-who found out why my turbo had failed .... Bent Shaft and nackered bearing heres a video of the tub and some Pics of it installed as you can see all oil/water/return are spot on and no kinks and free flowing disconnected oil lines and 100% oil even to the point there was fresh oil inside the turbine side behind the fan so will be speaking to them tomorrow morning and hopefully taking a trip over and get it repaired there and then Mark

oh bloody hell ... can it be repaired and glad that you are ok

haha

you will work though it and i'm sure the marrige is worth it Mark

thats wrong ... as it makes it worse than it is ... or something out of nothing ... if u know what i mean ... it was wrong of him not to say regardless ....

if you trust him it shouldn't make any different if the friend/buddy is female or male ... it doesnt bother me with my wife as shes got male friends ... my wife knows i have female ones too

get some rubber o rings .. thats the only other thing i can suggest
