VW 1.9t Diesel Turbo Rebuild

[@tonys1098]

Hi, a member replied with the heat shield being installed backwards. I will confirm because I assembled it as you show and the heat shield was rattling in the turbo hitting the turbine wheel. You really need to update this video. It caused a lot of work for me to have to remove the turbo only to flip over the heat shield. The heat shield is concave so the high part of the shield hits the turbo body. You didn't reply to the viewer who mentioned it earlier. Maybe you will this time. Thanks

[@Be4tJumper]

What happens if you overtighten the main nut? My rebuilt turbo doesn't work and I'm thinking it's because I gave it a 120* turn because I marked the nut and the compressor wheel and lined it up. I also think it could be oil starvation as I used an old braided feed. I couldn't feel any play before installation

[@CarpetCareIncFairfield]

i think the video on turbo rebuild was very well done. However the above link to the turbo rebuild kit is not working. Any help would be appreciated! kenny

[@МиодрагСенић]

Hello, I watched your video and I liked how you showed a turbine overhaul. I have one question: did you need to balance it? Thanks

[@iceverything.j.r.2564]

How bad did that sound when you started it. The heat shield washer is backwards that things going to rattle around till it chews its self up and hits the wheel.

[@callumh4423]

I just followed his instructions and started the car, to say the rattle was bad is an understatement. It sounded like a cat dying. Have to strip and redo the shield the right way.... Also because the shield is in reverse, no boost.

[@dietrichsmith7902]

Great video man! Getting ready to rebuild my Borg Warner BV39, so this will be very helpful throughout that process.

[@oceantrolls7332]

Excellent video. I have always wondered how much air comes out of the blower turbine once the turbo is running. Can you do a video on that please? would love to see it. Thanks.

[@kitbouthillier3578]

Is the compressor wheel in this video stock size, or is it larger? I know the factory compressor wheel in this turbo is not 6+6 blade.

[@ludovicamiral736]

Hello. concerning the balancing of the turbine propellers? it does not matter ?

[@tonys1098]

Hi Where do you get the large spacer/washer that goes between the turbine and housing? Mine is worn out but cannot find one on line.Thanks Tony

[@axefaizi7743]

I'm sorry sir, at 6.07 you said lock the nut by 1/4 turn, how about the balancing marking, I noticed the front wheel getting turned as well as you lock the nut, I've been in that case multiple times and the marking will not be in correct place

[@joeltia6441]

Evening Sir. Thanks for this video. Can I get the reference of the kit of repair

[@SY-ml5nl]

Hi How come you never balanced it? That will blow if not balanced. Great video by the way, excellent. Thank you

[@ICXCNIKA33AD]

@turbo lab america I disassembled my turbo and found my shaft was broken I have a gt1749v on my car would you happen to know where I would be able to find a replacement cartridge I found ones on ebay but they are made in china idk how much I trust that.

[@turbolabamerica]

If I was in need of that part I would talk to James nimmo at performance techinuques in San Bernardino ca. His email is [e-mail]

[@rotarykilla26]

Do you have a kit for a 2001 TDI beetle?

[@bencrosbie]

Is it necessary to re balance the turbo? good tutorial

[@Jackson-nm7yb]

Of Course the turbo has to be Balanced. If you install the Turbo without balancing it, the turbo will go down less then 1000km

[@modelfreak125]

Was there a O-Ring on the exhaust/manifold/housing to cartrage? I don’t see one on mine? How does it seal? Also broke one of the torx bolts holding that vnt mechanism, will it be a problem just to put two? Looks like it sorta floats around anyway ?

[@jamesmortimer3452]

The round plunger with rod mine has a oil dripping from it does it have a dyafram inside or oil seal fixing kit

[@turbolabamerica]

It should have oil all over it

[@shaneryaner]

I've a GT1749V 140BHP but I've had it since remapped to 200bhp I've always replaced the cartridge core myself, but do you know if I can upgrade core to GT1749VB straight swap? Or what other options are there without getting into big money like GTB1756vk etc. Really would appreciate your advice ✌️

[@kukuras3000]

Awesome, gonna try it my self. Billion thanx... Good luck to ya man!!!

[@tonycrawford5591]

Do you not rebalance the turbo on a VW?

[@abdelmajidlaaouina3651]

Hi your video is good Can you tell me how many are you payed for the kit thanks

[@AppleJack1997]

The compressor housing o-ring seems to have a very loose fit on the GT15 off of a 1Z TDI.

[@olivierlafontaine]

Hi! Thanks for the video. How do you remove the front collar from the compressor plate? Also, what is its purpose? My turbo is spilling oil in my intercooler on a ALH 1.9 TDI 2003 jetta. I rebuilt it, just like in the video but did not do the front collar because I was afraid of braking a the fragile aluminium compressor plate by removing the collar. Now its still spilling oil. Help appreciated, cheers!

[@turbolabamerica]

+Olivier troishuitcinq the front collar holds the front piston ring seal. You should be able to press it out by hand or Tap it with a hammer.

[@turbolabamerica]

+Olivier troishuitcinq I also put the heatshield on backwards in this video

[@danielacontreras817]

Hola soy de Chile y necesito el kit del turbo.... aquí no se encuentra sería posible un envío

[@alireza071]

great video and info thank u i got a ? for u i got the 105 bhp 1.9 tdi witch is mapped to 145bhp turbo is the factory fitted witch is work fine at the moment but i know it will b beake in sometime now if i want to rebuild my own turbo whats a best sort of harware to use shall i just use the factory the same or upgrade it like a hybird turbo isit something i can do or it need propper sort of machine and tools to do that any advice will b greatfull thank u

[@turbolabamerica]

+Alireza iesanejad the compressor housing has to be machined. I have the machine to do the job.

[@error-hb1mq]

Have yoy realised that you have installed the heatshield in the wrong position? That means that it will not press against the variable noozles so no matter what, you will not get the expected boost. I refrain from any other comments.

[@jackpontiac52]

None of the Video's that I have watched, including this video, talk of the side to side shaft 'play' which to the novice appears to be excessive play. When the engine is started and there is oil pressure, all is fine because the shaft and bearing are on a cushion of oil. Anyway, this is a good video.

[@Usercouldnotbefound]

It depends if its a ball bearing or journal bearing mate, ball bearing will have no side to side play unless its shagged but the journal bearing your talking about will have...but most turbos are floating bearings anyway these days

[@john-martin]

i had a turbo built for me and the 10mm nut on the turbine shaft is off center slightly. is that bad should i send it back??

[@turbolabamerica]

+john martin the turbine nut is very strange looking on the gt15 - gt25 series, it's very special design for a special tool to hold the turbine shaft.

[@john-martin]

+Turbo Lab America its a gt30r custom built. is this normal then?

[@turbolabamerica]

If it's balanced correctly then it would be fine.

[@turbolabamerica]

+john martin can you send me pictures to my email address [e-mail]

[@aquabono]

how much does it cost for kit ? (alh 5 speed tdi , vnt-15 borg warner).

[@SFlores1979]

Is the heat shield supposed to have some play under the fin wheel once the turbo has been separated?!?

[@turbolabamerica]

Yes, I put the heatsheild upside down in the video, don’t make the mistake I did

[@SFlores1979]

Turbo Lab America do you know the dimensions for the o-ring that goes on the turbine cover? It’d be the largest one.

[@turbolabamerica]

I don’t know, there are multiple variations which is why the kit has 4 orings for the compresssor housing

[@SFlores1979]

Thanks for the info!

[@aleksandrerofeev2307]

привет. а как же балансировка вала турбины после замены ремкомплекта?

[@ericcunningham4701]

Thoughts on using oven cleaner for cleaning the turbo to get rid of code 1557? The fins quit moving and it looses boost because the ring is dirty and it can't adjust boost accordingly? So what are your thoughts on using oven cleaner?

[@turbolabamerica]

I never heard of that, my set up for blasting parts I have spent about 16k on equipment, I wouldn’t use oven cleaner here that is more of a do it yourself method if you have a lack of access to the tools needed to do the job

[@ericcunningham4701]

@@turbolabamerica type in Mr muscle Volkswagen turbo and watch the 4 minute video. Tell me what u think. There's no way the oven cleaner can seep onto the air intake side is there? I couldn't believe there's a rubber seal on the turbo u rebuilt, I figured a turbo gets pretty hot for a rubber seal.

[@ericcunningham4701]

I really don't want to take the exhaust manifold off and disassemble the turbo. I can do it but that's alot of work.

[@turbolabamerica]

I have never used oven cleaner, I never cleaned my oven before, I don’t know anything about it so I don’t have advice to give you on that topic.

[@hearishhassan8198]

I have a e300 the turbine in side the turbocharger is slightly move when you wiggle it, is it normal?

They are normal thread

[@johnneville3549]

Hi, Great video. Very informative. Does the turbo need to be re-balanced once you've carried out this work? Many thanks

[@Usercouldnotbefound]

Shouldnt need to no. They are already balanced and calibrated from the factory

[@shahalquilonturbo2464]

Very good thanks

[@caterpillarman456]

I reconditioned many turbos in my career. I always used a socket in a vise to hold the turbine end of the shaft and another socket on a tee handle to tighten the shaft nut. I would be very afraid of doing this his way, afraid of bending the very small shaft.

Do i need to rebalance the turbo after this ?

If you do an upgrade you should. If you do just a rebuild you don’t if you keep the orientation of the wheels and if the wheels don’t have damage
