Re: High mileage Mk2 Turbo - would you?

Are you running standard boost?

My EBC was only set at 1bar (think 0.9 is standard) and that must have pushed it over the edge.

Re: High mileage Mk2 Turbo - would you?

Thanks for the tips... Think it would be insensitive for me to start posting details of the car i'm looking at. The turbo went on my rev3 at 83k miles which is kind of putting me off.

High mileage Mk2 Turbo - would you?

Would you buy one approaching 100k miles or be put off?

Would you expect the turbo to fail almost definitely at this stage, or could one be in luck?

Refurbing fake split rims is an issue as you can't get a decent polished finish on the lip.I resorted to having the whole thing powder coated which didn't last.

Hi Guys, Going to a view a car this weekend.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Blueflame Exhaust (again) - very boomy (deafening) at 1500 revs - normal?

Mate if its any consolation I had exactly the same problem. Had serious tinitius in my ear for at least 2 years...the Mr2 was sold (also with Blueflame) and after a while my hearing went back to normal. Could have been totally unrelated but I couldn't help but speculate it wasn't a coincidence. You'...
