    Brand new turbos have a lot of side play. Normal. The oil fills the gap.

      Correct 👍🏻 a lot of people don’t realise the shaft centralises and floats on the oil pressure

    Hey there , I just rebuilt my vf39 all new bearings and clips , it’s a little more stiff to spin but is this because I tightened the compressor wheel but to much or did not drench the bearings in enough lube ? Lol

    If there's a little bit of scoring on the housing, is it ok to replace the bearings or even the whole CHRA? Is it imperative that the housing be machined or replaced?

    • @lowandslow24
      @lowandslow24 Před 7 lety

      Woody Ridenour, "a bit" is subjective. if the blades are touching the housing, they are damaged. If they are damaged, the entire CHRA should be replaced.

      @TophersProjects Před 6 lety +9

      vevohoeyo you are clearly uneducated.. Many turbos have play like that due to the shaft 'floating' on a film of oil when running. Its in and out play thats a big issue.

    thx for the help
    And i've a question
    I've been google-ing some turbos of different brands of cars, but i can't find pics because when i writte "Turbo [Brand of the car]" they show me cars isntead of fucking turbos
    And all the turbos i've seen looks the same
    So my question is if all the turbos are the same

    • @squishypitbull
      @squishypitbull Před 7 lety +1

      They all do the same thing in general. But there are differences in size. Power output. Journal or ball bearing.
      Different types exhaust houses and inlets for stock turbo's and Then there are the standard turbos that can be used with any vehicle just with modifications needed to the car to make them work.

    my audi diesel 130bhp is sluggish and only feel the turbo boost after 2k revs especially in low gears / revs.
    I've spend £100 ' s going from one mechanic to another - MAP / MAF / presume sensor/ ECU all changed with no result - driven many VAG cars and they seems to noticeable accelerate from 1400/ 1600 revs

      @Skaude Před 6 lety

      1.9tdi stock turbo doesnt spool up until around 2k revs.
      If you want it to spool faster you need to burn fuel. It is possible to bypass the maf sensor with bv21 diode and make it puff a little smoke on lower rpm so the burning material spools the turbo faster.
