[popstar]

help guys !!!!

there's a lady in our club with a 205

she's telling me she has a crack in her turbo ! and the engin has started smoking .......

i know, i know, change it is the best thing !
but at the moment she just can't for one reasion or another ! i haven't seen it yet.....

but as a stop gap, you think we could just fill the crack, to help the engin balance or ..........

thanks for any help

No way, the Tolerances are way too close to do a bodge repair on a turbo, she might do untold damage to her engine, the only cure is to get a new/recon turbo.

that's what i've told her mate !

but she doesn't really understand what could happen to her car i think...
you know turn up the music and there's no problem

any idea what a turbo would cost in the UK, as the price for that sort of stuff are about the same over here !!!

For a Celica turbo that has been upgraded to stage 1 (thicker spindle shaft & 48mm compressor) your looking at about £700, you could probably get a reconed one slightly cheaper but I`d say thats a pretty much standard figure. Turbo`s arnt cheap.

yeah that's what i thought..........

and she probabley only gets paid that in total a month as wages !!!
ok so we need to look for a reco turbo......

i like your wheels by the way mate, first mulit spoke rims i've liked in a while, i prefur a heavier looking wheel (check my profile)
