I'm in the middle of redoing my turbo conversion on my clio and am just about to fit the turbo. It has a gt28r comp housing along with bolt on adaptors so I can connect my boost pipes.
I figured it would be a good idea to ensure they were sealed correctly so I placed my hand over the comp intake and then blew into the comp outlet and I'm shocked that there is a tiny air leak. I got my mate to blow into it for me so i could have a listen to see where it's coming from and it's coming from the oil way outlet.
Is this normal? as I don't have my old turbo to compare it with.:cry:
It really is a tiny air leak, and you have to blow really hard to get it to leak, how many psi can a 30yr old pair of lungs produce? :)
Cheers
Steve
