My guess is Simon is right, your best bet is put oil and water in it and see if it leaks, if it doesnt you should be ok.

er... ok, might pop over to pole 2morrow and let them do that, wouldnt want to bugger anything up myself tbh!! paid a lot of money for this thing, so need to make sure all is ok... |
What also bothers me is, was told it had only done 8000 when i have since found out it has done over 15000k, now if there are signs of rust holes how long is this turbo going to last me????

I've seen turbochargers where the waterways have corroded through and become porous when owners have neglected to put coolant in their cars for prolonged periods. I'm sorry to say that this looks like very similar (I used to work for a major turbocharger re-manufacturer). Block off the oilways and carefully run some water through the waterways and see if it leaks out at all.

Like Micadan says thats what i would do, in a ideal world its just where the oil return bolt hole was drilled too deep.

Like i say my main worry is even if its not an issue, if its started to rot now, how long will it last me. got a nasty feeling im going to be pi$$ed off this weekend! |
