    why is it people always take sides before hearing it all out. give the bloke a chance and let spooky box his own corner.

    Re: spooky

    A more in depth explanation as to what's happening would help. The fact ''it doesn't work'' means nothing.

    Well, I'm taking a side. I'm going to take the left side, and put it on the right side, so then it becomes the wrong side

    Any smoke, oil from anywhere?
    Is the actuator plumbed up and attached to the wastgate?

    Re: spooky

    does the shaft spin freely by hand ? doesn't look bent or catching the housings ? and is the wastegate closing all the way ?

    what type of turbo is it ? it's not just laggier than you expect ?

    What happens with the right side though after you put the left side in it?

    Re: spooky

    If it's not boosting, the wastegate could be open prematurley and bleeding off the exhaust gas before it hits the turbine wheel. You just need to shorten the actuator rod in that case. The penny should be clamped against it's seat firmly

    Re: spooky

    ahh ok, so if you look in the back housing do the blades from the wheel look like the've scraped the sides? if you wiggle the back wheel does it get stuck on the housing sides?

    Re: spooky

    Literally just replied...

    Hi

    I sold you a working, boosting turbo. It was literally taken off my car the morning I posted it out, it was still warm in the packaging!!!

    I have offered to help and have given you advice on what to look at and try etc

    Why would I sell something, of whatever value and know it didn't do what it's meant to do ?

    I've sold numerous parts, body panels, engine parts, turbos...no one has had any issues and if they did, Ive usually helped them out as much as I could.

    I don't know if you've been unfortunate enough to have had it damaged in the post or during any handling. That's something I can't control.

    Sukhi

    Re: spooky

    Sounds like a group hug is due :P

    If no obvious signs of damage and trying things already asked I would suspect actuator adjustment could be needed
