The turbo company told me it was nothing to do with the thrust bearing when I asked them, they said something about total loss oil seals but I have no idea what they are

ive heard that you can only do it with both, total loss oil seals are just thicker/double oil seals which are more common in racing use. have you already had your turbo built?

right a 360 deg bearing has a larger support surface to fit an uprated thust as opposed to a std 270deg which allows to give sustained higher boost. back pressure is down to the tubine piston seal the standard one will give the ghost with a decate fitted but you will need a stagger gap turbine piston seal which provides a total seal and is far more durable i would have compressor carbon seals fitted aswell. having a few years experience rebuilding its all down to the boost settings aswell trying to overcook the std turbo

have you asked the question if the uprated seal is fitted 90% of 360 kit's supplied have the stagger seal in the kit?? you looking at around £100 to have stagger seal fitted... who uprated the turbo may i ask??

wow now im worried bein running a de-cat for last few months didnt release i would do this to the turbo...
Redinstead you obviously know what your talking about how much would it cost me for you to rebuild a turbo that would suit the de-cat and increase power to around 300bhp i have more mods such as.. fmic, k&n with SIP, and cat back exhaust with de-cat and manual prv

ok what would happen if there were a bit of damage would like that superspool spec yeah you would have to go for the superspool and a new turbine shaft if the compressor housing is damaged the turbine housing can be successfully repaired
