    well im not sure to be honest m8... i think its the exhaust side seal....as when i give it the large pedal then let off i get a massive cloud of smoke out the exhaust.. also i think i can hear the impella catching the aliminium part of the turbo casing

    Oh dear that will be the left/right play then mate, I dont think and oil thickness will prevent that to be honest.

    So yes i would say you are correct this is gonna need a recon and rebalance.

    You wount go far wrong with essex turbos mate. Or keep an eye on ebay for a dirt cheap one. TO be honest though for the money you've almost laid out you could have a New TT Stage 1 cant you?

    hello hello brad, can't see it needing a balance as the impellar blades wasn't touching the aluminium casing when you got it. but as long as you don't get tempted to drive it anymore then you wont cause no more damage too it. but any time you do drive it can cause massive damage quite quickly... as said it was in the shed for 9months and as the seals had most likely dried up and got brittle then i said it was quite possible that it could happen. when i phoned you i did say i felt for you and felt abit guilty. so what i'll offer is some parts for free if you need anything.... although i did say it was a possibility that they could of gone brittle and when fitted and run that they could give way as you was happy as i told you the truth!!! but as i'm a nice chap i do feel for you and if you need any bits then just give me a txt.... i'll sort you out
