Hello guys,

I have quite a lot of smoke when my Turbo 2000 is on idle, looking to replace the Turbo, does anyone have a model number, is it T4???

Thanks

Most likely a TD04.

mine didnt, it only smoked on tick over when warm,the seals were knackered.

Ok thanks, my boyfriend is a mechanic he has checked it over and looks like a worn Turbo

turbo re builds are not as expensive as you think , you could buy a used one and that could have problems too

Great opportunity to rebuild your turbo for faster spool and more power, good as new for under £500.

Rebuild kits for the td04 are about 30 quid from someone like turborebuild.co.uk if you feel like DIY

If your turbo just has worn seals/bearings, it is perfectly possible to rebuild it at home with the rebuild kits (mark wheel locations first to maintain balance).

That's great thanks for that

Speak to Craig Belworthy central turbos he will do you a rebuild or upgrade for a reasonable price and is well renowned in the community

I wouldn’t recommend rebuilding at turbo at home there’s a reason engineers spend thousands on balancing machines and everything else.
Get tdo4 reconed by a speacilist
or get a reconed td05

sexond hand turbio isn’t a bad idea there will be a lot of good td04s on market from being upgraded. The one on mine is 6 months old and will be coming off soon as I can be assed with the bolts around bottom of down pipe and turbo itself..... which might be never lol

Girl Racer

Thank you for that

Girl Racer

Ok thanks for your advice on that

I can vouch for Craig Bellworthy.
