i have boooooooooost

[m8arx]

at long last, after 6 weeks without boost, and nearly 3 without the car, i finally have boost. turbo got put back on today after getting reconditioned/replaced by CRTurbo's, reckon i'll need to bed it in a little first though

cheers to welly, ollieH, sportstractor and Badger bill for the advice / pointers

and 600 gold coins later...

Don see why it would need bedding in? Just go welly it

 

[m8arx]

600? try 9 after the labour costs for the removal and replacement

really? would it not be best to run it in gently - i know it's not an engine but i thought it would be best to ease it into it's life lol

 

[sportstractor]

As its not my turbo, my vote goes to giving it a thrash

I've never heard of turbos needing to be bed in. As long as the oil is reaching it then it's time for some fun.

As with everything new i always go steady for a few miles.
maybe a drive where you come on boost slowly and never stick you foot into the carpet?
If all is well. Drive it same as you always did
