Ph1 Diablo D-turbo - Being Broken Up!

[Jenkosowls]

Why not spend the rebuild fund on buying something a bit newer and more modern than a T25? The T25 is very old tech now and there's much more efficient turbos out there, and if you get a suitable turbo off a low-mileage car there's no reason why it should need a rebuild.

the only reason i went T25 was simply down to evrything was cheap i bought padges old T25 setup for £20 this was screwed from the start as i knew and all i had to do was source a new one and place the catridge in then bolt up. bought the 2nd turbo for £35 new oil line was £18 so all in all its cost less than £80 to sort out. the other advantage with the T25 is everything lines up nicely with the fmic pipes of the xantia so now modifications needed there

To do it again id have to source a seperate manifold research into a specific turbo away from the norm and more than likely thatl cost over £80 plus cost to have it welded up or plated.

in essence was just a nice cheap option to go for at the time. once iv got a stronger bearing kit il more than likely look at having the turbo into a hybrid for a quicker spool time.

Gutted, hasn't been on long has it?

Think around 3 weeks! at the other side of 25psi which considering its not recomended to go over 15psi on these doesnt suprise me. not only that when you compare the new turbo to the old one the old one had more shaft play than i thought this one should see me last a bit longer
