So here are some pictures of my cracked turbo housing. Think this could have helped cause my problems? And I don't think I did this. My guess is that it was there before i bought the car but it just progressivly got worse. I always let my car properly cool down after a hard run.


Looking down from where the turbo meets the manifold.


Looking into the housing.

Glad my new turbo is in!!!

wow thats pretty crazy.

 

Yea they have a bad habbit of doing that. Although mine wasn't as bad as yours. Lemme guess, your wastegate flap was loose too.

 

IICK well that didint help your case what so ever

 

I am not sure. I don't think so. I will check later.

Yup, what do you know, it is loose. LOL I never checked that before. That would also cause some problems!

Josh

 

geeezzz. good thing u got that k04

 

What do you expect from a super small turbo spinning so fast that it turns white from the heat, and thats stock! Chip it and your cutting the life of the turbo in half at least.

 

Is that true?

 

yeah...

i can't help but laugh every time i c a k03 cause its just sooooooo... small....
