How to check a used turbo is ok to fit

A quick guide on how to check a turbo for faults . Badly filmed, but maybe helpful

[@danieltuileighton]

Great vid Sebastian. Straight to the point, and nice and concise. Cheers!

[@Sarashka23]

Thank you for a well detailed video

[@colinaglae2605]

Thank you, for the overview of the video check. Nice video.

[@Riffnugget]

Great video, very helpful thankyou. I now know what to look for

[@atothezeezee]

Thank you - great stuff.

[@helihoot]

Brand new turbos have a lot of side play. Normal. The oil fills the gap.

[@NatesToolbox]

Correct 👍🏻 a lot of people don’t realise the shaft centralises and floats on the oil pressure

[@nikolaospitsos9491]

Excellent video

[@benbirch554]

excellently described

[@kavintruong1106]

Hey there , I just rebuilt my vf39 all new bearings and clips , it’s a little more stiff to spin but is this because I tightened the compressor wheel but to much or did not drench the bearings in enough lube ? Lol

[@arronlowley5659]

Hi mate you know when you turn the compressor wheel at 2:16 and it does the metallic sort of noise, is that normal? My is38 does this

[@manolovilla9073]

thanks, Excelently Describes.

[@truongminh3731]

thank for your video !

[@CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

If there's a little bit of scoring on the housing, is it ok to replace the bearings or even the whole CHRA? Is it imperative that the housing be machined or replaced?

[@lowandslow24]

Woody Ridenour, "a bit" is subjective. if the blades are touching the housing, they are damaged. If they are damaged, the entire CHRA should be replaced.

[@jamiejones5233]

Thanks for this. Nice, clear and informative!

[@sebastianlebepe5346]

Jamie Jones .Will a leaking manifold cause the turbo not to kick in,the car is very slow,can't even reach 140km/h,,

[@Peter-wo4uo]

@@sebastianlebepe5346 did you find out?

[@mikesaavedra2601]

how many miles were on this turbo?

[@andymac4965]

good vid

[@saulburgess5689]

its in and out play thats the big issue not up and down.

[@davidtheyungoutcast1070]

What if the compressor wheel doesnt spin?

[@hondaguy425able]

I'm working on a Ford 3.5 EcoBoost. I had a code po299 for low boost. I removed the turbo and there is oil in the intake and outtake is this normal?

[@contractor556]

What ever happened?

[@oliv3rperez409]

Is that a vf48?

[@Queendolly-ann]

were the best places to go to get a turbo fixed on porsche cayenne

[@REPTARisaG]

Stacy Letten go to a aftermarket/speed shop that does tuning, dyno. They will be the most knowledgeable.

[@nlisijohn7684]

where can i buy a best turbocharger yd25 navara 2006? i relly need something that can last me how long do a navara turbocharger normaly last?

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Longer than the head does. Hahaha

[@heen91]

I would never have mounted a turbo with that much play in it.

[@MrRamkulov]

Thanks Mate

[@southsideboxing]

Hi can anyone tell me what could be the problem with my bmw 316d es 2011, i can drive it for a bit and its fine, but when its hot, its chucking out loads of blue/white smock know loss of power but the smock can be really bad at times, could it be the turbo, thanks

[@acclrtester183]

blue smoke is oil. your turbo has gone.

[@HH-tn2eb]

عندي تيربو اودي a6 1.9 tdi 110 ch الزيت يخرج ويتجمع في راديتور الخاص بالتيربو مع العلم ان السيارة ما تدخن نهائيا ماهو المشكل

[@nederbnj1241]

If the car is not consuming much oil and perform normally than u have nothing ti worry about

[@AA-zn9mt]

what symptoms are they zif the impellers etc are touching the sides?? my audi diesel 130bhp is sluggish and only feel the turbo boost after 2k revs especially in low gears / revs. I've spend £100 ' s going from one mechanic to another - MAP / MAF / presume sensor/ ECU all changed with no result - driven many VAG cars and they seems to noticeable accelerate from 1400/ 1600 revs

[@kryptoniteee]

Mass air flow sensor

[@Skaude]

1.9tdi stock turbo doesnt spool up until around 2k revs. If you want it to spool faster you need to burn fuel. It is possible to bypass the maf sensor with bv21 diode and make it puff a little smoke on lower rpm so the burning material spools the turbo faster.

[@Dtp2296]

Stuck vnt, very common. Realise this comment is years ago but might help somebody else. Search for the solutions

[@Adrian-re9fh]

@@Dtp2296 My E46 320D 150HP version has that kind of problem, it only boost at 3500rpm or so, I'm gonna give a try and see if it is stuck vnt or broken turbo.

[@justtrue8228]

how to remove and fit new tourbocharger

[@Tome13Eclipse]

thx for the help And i've a question I've been google-ing some turbos of different brands of cars, but i can't find pics because when i writte "Turbo [Brand of the car]" they show me cars isntead of fucking turbos And all the turbos i've seen looks the same So my question is if all the turbos are the same

[@squishypitbull]

They all do the same thing in general. But there are differences in size. Power output. Journal or ball bearing. Different types exhaust houses and inlets for stock turbo's and Then there are the standard turbos that can be used with any vehicle just with modifications needed to the car to make them work.

[@vevohoeyo]

Holy shit to be able to see the play on this turbo in a video is next level its time for a complete rebuild. It's fukd

[@TophersProjects]

vevohoeyo you are clearly uneducated.. Many turbos have play like that due to the shaft 'floating' on a film of oil when running. Its in and out play thats a big issue.

[@andykane439]

all Subaru turbos crack lol specially the vf 30

[@alvaro7570]

i just took one out of a chrysler laser, costed me 40 bucks for the turbo

[@withstyle7816]

when you have so much movement like that the turbo is done and needs a rebuild

[@guavajuicethe3rd90]

you meen shaft play

[@TophersProjects]

Not true. Some turbos have that play

Yesterday, a turbo fell in my hands out of nowhere by a car? Idk and i thought it was a ball... and my hand is now red

[@heinz490]

dont bye used turbos by a new core balanced and ready to fit find it on ebay aprox 130$ and after 4hours you are on the road again

[@gregh7457]

heco in china

[@gplusgplus2286]

And it will last 4 hours

[@iamtheoneandonly9361]

Good explanation but in my opinion used turbos are a false economy as others have stated. This video would be better to show people signs of wear in a turbo but informative nonetheless just like your other vids.

[@alex59248]

junkyard turbo is like $35 if you do all the work yourself why not send it? my yard has a 30 day return. and even in the yard you can run through this list quickly with a flashlight and...your hands! your a false economy.....the only one

[@Cle_M3]

@@alex59248 Because not everyone buys junkyard turbos, use your head.

[@scottdowney4318]

That turbo should get new bearings, they are getting loose and scratching the compressor housing.

[@alex59248]

no way, he like, mentioned it in the video

[@oriancunningham]

legit just took the Garrett aireasearch T3 off my 1987 300TDT and it has no play after 340k miles. this turbo is toasted

[@buddhudd1054]

so 3mm endplay would be bad. :-$

[@nonamebleach]

Turbski 🌬💨

[@Skandalos]

There should be no axial play on the shaft. I think you didnt mention that. Other than that, very good video.

[@nanocyde_artist]

Epo Nymous loool, you showed him didn’t you

[@ryansens6072]

That is munted mate. Sorry but thats to much play lol

Agreed.

[@kryptoniteee]

Sebastian Hibbert you didn’t say that in the video, now everyone thinks you’re a cowboy. Should’ve shown people how to do the beating change. Loool

[@plumbteam]

kryptoniteee your right :-)

[@geo7471]

that turbo is leaking oil and shoud not go on a car bin it i have bot meny for my saab of ebay and thy all there ok but wen you pot them on thy leak oill it shoud be no play at all and no oil driping out . you can pay 90 to 200 a turbo thats a lot wen you have to 4 or 5 turbo s tull you get a good one

[@HustleKings357]

Can u weld the cracks so it wont leak? Would that work.

[@geo7471]

on there is a we oil seal that go s on it or if the bush is going it will seap oil out so if the turbo fan wobils the turbo is no good

[@Hayden-bs3oz]

+george crawford all turbos have shaft movement george.

[@Hayden-bs3oz]

+george crawford but turbo in vid is fucked, bin it or rebuild.

[@MotoDonuts]

he says multiple times that the turbo is bad. Turbos can have left to right, no up or down/axial play

[@simonpinspottertechstiggyg730]

That turbos fucked mate, I wouldn't fit it

[@lifebeginsat190]

didnt see anything about fitment...lol...should be called how to check your used turbo to see if its good

[@aldocuevas3521]

That's no help at all man . No true

[@roblane746]

Sorry - rubbish doesn't tell you anything beyond common sense. It's called end float by the way.

[@cgavin1]

Turbos seem like a great idea until you realize they're best left on racing cars. A few mm out of spec and your engine is hoovering down metal shavings. Not so cool. Shame really.

[@steveengle9479]

So same thing would appy to pistons, bearings, and a bunch of other stuff on your car? Dang better stop driving and stick to walking.
