lets just say....
A little bit of plastic has managed to make its way in through my induction pipe and I can only assume into the turbo. The plastic bit was about 1cm squared and about 2mm high.
I am not getting any boost out of the car now so I can only assume its damaged the turbo. Is this possible ?
What will have happened to the bit of plastic ? Will it has been smashed into small pieces or will it manage to travel into my engine ?
Apart from the turbo being damaged is this going to cause a problem ?
Thanks

turbo?
can you strip the induction down so you can see if the turbo vanes have been damaged? it will obvious if you have knocked off any vanes on the compressor side,
if your turbo is knackerd give me a pm as i have a spare td 05 if you need one from my classic days, and it wont be a fortune to buy,
though if you have lost blades from your turbo, where have they gone?
best speak to sombody who knows more than me, i.e andy forrest!!
cheers robin.

hi
i think he is back now or very soon, i will give him a call tomorrow and find out, i dont have his number here at home,
i would think the plastic if small enough will just have shot through the system and is now a cinder in the exaust system! fingers crossed
are you near edinburgh? if so bring it to jvs ( www.powervehicles.com)tomorrow and we will have a wee look if you want?
cheers robin.

Did you sell this car to a guy in Dundee ? I seen it in an add in a car magazine and then on your site. Really liked it and pretty sure I seen a guy in it in Dundee the other day ?
