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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 ✌️
what do you think about these vw audi and skodas turbos vs bmws ones....I had lot of bmw cars and vw audi and in my experience vw audi turbos are better build ..can you coment ? what is your experience
@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.
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 ?
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?
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
@@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.
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!
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
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.
Turbo Lab America yes it was bushing thanks for the info i have gt17V but i cannot fout the part on internet :s do you know one website maybe i can buy it from there
Man that's first generation journal bearing and cant be used on that turbo, also you put heat shield wrong position. Anyways thank you for the video :)
