Looks cracked to me too.
Although it does look cracked, being it was pro refurbed it can't be surely? Unless damaged in transit??
It definitely looks like a crack and would explain the smoking, you need to kick some ass and get some money back Ben ;)
Yes and no. This is a tiny crack, with is right on the surface. You cant get your nail in it. It isnt on the seat. Nor does it go thru to the other side.
The turbo was rebuilt by some one knows what they are doing.
It was pressure tested to 90k rpm and boost tested to 30psi.
THe seat seals 100%.
If it was cracked, It would not cause smoking at all. It would give a boost leak. And it doesn't leak boost at all.
Hope you can get it sorted mate, so frustrating!
Yes, It's pointing to rings annoyingly
Hello benn
Still love this car
I work right next to track n road in the scrapyard lol
i was away when you was getting the nova mapped.. was it all spot on after tho
Ah Hi,
Erm no, still smoking, Pointing at rings i think.
But no time at all to be able to build a block up, so i'll build one up and swap it after Billing.
Very unhappy.
Christ I've been slacking off.
Where did I get too? As yes the smoking.
After many people's advice, I plumbed the breather back in to the turbo.
Testing...

266miles of perfect running.... Then Dan drove it from the services and we lost all boost! Shit.
Slowly took it a part trying to check everything.

Jammed open. Put 50psi of pressure thru it + and - and it wouldn't move a mm. Totally jammed.
Luckily I found 2 spares. Fitted one, boost straight away.
