Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Took it all off the other day and had a look at it last night, the drain had become partially blocked with a split rubber hose, basically the inner had come away causing a blockage.

I think on idle the oil prefered coming out the exhaust seal than through the drain!!

Oh well, brand new turbo to go on anyway, just need to improve the drain a bit!!

See what happens i guess. The old turbo had some play but not huge amounts and it spins freely.

*smiley*

More winter adjustments to carry out i guess...
