Little update....
Some of you already may know but car was on the dyno friday and done a couple of pulls managing 410bhp peak at 24psi but Bill believes theres some work to be done with the cams yet dialing them in as car was performing in a strange manner with regards to timing advance and when vvt is used, so theres more to be done there
Once fans etc were switched off for the night it was apparent that the turbo was sounding a bit odd....
Bill recognised this sound as possible bearing failure of the turbo so it was shut off straight away and from what can be seen at the moment all the blades appear to be intact
Main suspect is that the bearing cage has broken down which is supprisingly plastic? Couple of options at the moment stand as (providing only bearings are damaged)
1. Take a risk and send it back to ATP in USA and hope they will honour the warrenty even though it was purchased a year and a half ago
2. Theres two options for possible bearing replacement in the UK one being metal caged bearing but costing around 500 or a plastic and ceramic option for about 1/2 - 2/3s of the cost
Or if shaft blades etc are damaged I will need a complete chra on service exchange but that gets ££££
Anyone want to donate a turbo to a good cause lol
