Ok as you may know, I had turbo problems about two months ago. Wasn't
sure exactly what the problem was until I had it taken out.
It turned out only the rear turbo is stuffed. Basically I had a
damaged (ie. bent) oil line going to the rear turbo, and not enough
oil pressure was being supplied to it. Over time it basically stuffed
its bearings, and has some shaft play.
The front turbo is in perfect working order. No shaft play at all. They
now have about 10K kays on them since rebuild. I have had them only
running at 12 psi, due to stock intercooler restrictions I couldn't
pump any more, so they haven't been pushed much at all.
The front turbo (in excellent condition) is for sale for $1,000 plus
postage. Mind you, this is a genuine Toyota CT12a turbo, not an eBay
Chinese copy! Bargain given it costs over 1500 bucks to hi flow and
steel wheel them these days!
The rear turbo (in poor condition) is for sale for $400ono plus
postage. As above, genuine Toyota CT12a turbo.
I'll post some pics up tonight or tomorrow.
