Got my refurbed Standard turbo coming tomorrow from Turbo Dynamics. Just wondering would anything need doing to it before I fit it? i.e. setting the actuator up?

Cheers

Ben

The actuator is pre set, it is advisable to have an oil change and fit a new oil feed pipe to the turbo.

turn over the engine till the oil pressure light goes out before actually starting it.

Thanks people, lets hope the weather holds out on Saturday!

Incidentally, what have you had done to your turbo and how much did it cost?

Totally standard rebuild, I believe (from what I can remember from my telephone conversation)

Oversize bearings
New thrust bearing (I assume 270 degree standards)
New oil seals
New Turbine + Shaft
New Actuator

Was £280 + vat, not cheap I know, but it feels and looks like a new turbo so should hopefully out last the car now!

Oh and they managed to turn it round in a day, once I had given them the go ahead so pretty quick stuff!

Good to know, be interested to see how you go with it

Cheers for the info mate. Sounds like reasonable VFM.

Well just to update this thread.

Fitted it today and the car seems a whole lot more responsive, seems to come on boost a bit quicker also (I realise this is probably all in my head!) Also fitted an uncracked manifold so this may have something to do with it!
