is this fucked?
Turbo Mini Forums

turbo i have,

nice few cracks, is it un usable :L

and can i do anything too it?

Very common, nothing to really worry about. You've more of a problem in fact getting that sheared stud out.

will it still run ok?

i was gonna run this for a bit and buy a more uprated turbo later.

the cracks go right through tho...

and the stud on the bottom right?

it will run fine, yea as tom said, getting the stud out on the bottom right may be a struggle.

you might find you cant wind the boost up ppast about 16-18 psi but apart form that ok

was only running 12psi max :)

and i think the camera angle is making it look like that :L

its not actually snapped haha

and with the colour squares whats what :L



BLUE: is it the water feed?

BLACK: oil drain?

RED: Water feed?




BLUE: same water feed?

RED: Oil Feed?

GREEN. the take off on the right used for anything?

Edited by coopdog on 3rd Sep, 2013.

The green is the actuator, used to control boost pressure by opening the wastegate.

You will need to connect a pressure signal onto the outer most connection on here.

Your other assumptions are correct.

Oh, and wear suitable shoes whilst lifting turbos, they hurt.

whats a pressure signal kean?

haha have you dropped one then? :L

Connects to a bleed valve ( or other boost control) to inlet or just to inlet i believe.

Ah right well I'm fitting both, do I just t piece the boost guage in?

And there are too take offs on the actuator, what's the one on the left for?

You'd plumb the boost gauge to the inlet seperately ideally, maybe t'd with the megajolt if fitted.
I believe you use the outermost takeoff, ignore the inner one but don't block it off.

And then doesn't the dumpvalve go back into the manifold aswell? :L

If you have a quick search there are some sketches (ms paint works of art) of how all the pipework is supposed to connect up.

I stripped a load of t3s last year in a quest to build a nice hybrid, the exhaust turbine housing on all bar one were cracked in the way outlined above. it seems to be very common

Thanks guys! Made it a lot simpler,

And with the intake turbine that's Cain the wrong way(down) just undo the 3 bolts and turn it?

And with the actuator mod,

You have to cut it and re weld? Well mines off the arm do I still need to cut it? Or an I just spin it round and re attach it?


Also I just need to make a bracket and move it to the other side?
