Turbo's died (now with pic)

[S90GAV]

after 91k miles the turbos gone on my S3. I've used the search button but it bring up loads of crap i dont want and cannot find what im looking for so thought id ask here.

would go down the IHI route but with xmas round the corner and needing the car back on the road quick thats not an option at the min.

do any of you know any good places that supply recondtioned turbos?

That's er broken...

Might be pushing it to get it recon'd, depending on housing damage

 

[S90GAV]

theres a hole in the housing as oil is ******* out of it

 

[AudiS3-Turbo]

The unit is no good for recon,its ******** well and truly !

 

[Prawn]

Holy ****, how on earth has that happened? Never seen anything quite so savage! Looks like it's ingested a few stones!

 

[S90GAV]

i aint got a clue mate, wasnt any signs of it going to go, no smoke, no oil burning no nothing.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUCHH

 

[Speedy Steve]

CR turbos do sell turbos worth giving them a ring!

 

[finesse]

ouch

 

[S90GAV]

steve - how much was your CR hybrid?

 

[Speedy Steve]

it was about 600 as a rebuild but it doesnt end there with just bolting a hybrid on! Ring CR as they normally have some turbo's in that you can buy outright

 

[S90GAV]

i rang them today, theyve got a new unit in for £545 plus VAT which is gonna be about £640.

 

[Speedy Steve]

going Hybrid isnt cheap theres rods, down pipe, injectors etc etc etc it all adds up

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

If you need 440cc injectors then i have some for sale

Sorry ignore the above post by sm_cupra. I'm at his and i accidently replied on his account doh!

When i got mine done from CR they said they can recon the turbo no matter how bad it is. The guy assured me they have every part there to recon the turbo. I had it sent to them on a monday and it was done and delivered back to the garage on wednesday! Spot on service!

 

[S90GAV]

I'll give them a ring again tomorrow and explain the condition of the turbo and see what they say, cause when I rang them today I hadn't seen the damage

lol, soz m8, could'nt resist

i'll get me coat

and as for that turbo! carnage indeed - wow!

hope no debris went thru the motor.. i would advise dropping off the pipework as far as the first intercooler and fish out any debris which maye be there.. you dont want to put a new turbo on to then injest some of turbo #1 thru the motor - that would ruin your day/week/year

unlucky dude

 

[AudiS3-Turbo]

yea this is my job to do,will be stripping all the pipework off for a good inspection and clean,when i took off the tip it had debris right up to the maf and onto the air filter...ouch! what ever happened it even punched a hole through the cold side of the turbo intake,it went bang in one hell of a way lol.
