Your turbo did have blown seals (?). Is there any oil that went through the IC? Mine wasn't really dirty but it may have been cleaned before I even received it

 

speaking of blown seals and roasted turbo, what did you end up doing with it?

 

Yeah it was completely blown from the original owner. AMR is upgrading/rebuilding it as we speak.

 

details details details

 

He is teasing us Chris.

 

How is he allowed to tease when his thread hasnt been updated since August 1st!!!

 

 

Okay guys. Sorry my son had his appendix removed today, I was at the hospital all day.

Anyway, according to AMR my turbine shaft was pretty bad. They could polish it and rebuild the turbo, replace it with a new shaft and rebuild the turbo, or.......................


They can do this:

• Water Cooled & Oil Cooled CHRA
• BIG TD06H Turbine Shaft
• Upgraded 44lb/min Compressor Wheel
• New Bearings
• New Seals
• Machined Compressor Housing
• Machined Turbo Housing
• Assemble
• Balance Turbo

It's more than I can afford and I am in deep enough already but I decided to just do it. Once the car is done I will just have to get my *** to work and pay off my debts But it is quite a bit cheaper then the BNR route. I trust these guys at AMR, hopefully this turbo meets my ecpectations.

 

Good luck, I just got my engine back in the car and the upgraded to the 50 trim turbo from BNR. Apparantly I chose to pay more to play. oh well! Hope your project goes well.

 

Yeah I spent more money on the engine for a little extra insurance. I kind of just wanted to try another reputable shop to see what option were available with the Greddy turbo and AMR is as top notch as it gets so even though the prices may be cheaper than BNR, I am not expecting a lesser turbo. I also spent more money on some small details that will hopefully pay off in the long run.

 

I thought you were getting a standard turbo rebuild? anything different being differnently to add performance?

 

• Water Cooled & Oil Cooled CHRA
• BIG TD06H Turbine Shaft
• Upgraded 44lb/min Compressor Wheel
• New Bearings
• New Seals
• Machined Compressor Housing
• Machined Turbo Housing
• Assemble
• Balance Turbo

 

OMG, is this build done yet. I'm sick of reading.

Just slap some **** together already.

 

Then fly out there and give him a hand! I'm sure he could use it.

 

I am dropping my turbo off this week. I am hoping my shaft is straight and true. Yes she said that once

 

chris you said shaft...tehe

 

trust me, I'm am more than ready to get my car back. Driving a Focus is depressing as hell.

This heat has been unbearable, I need all the help I can get.

AMR said my shaft (turbo shaft) suffered some severe heat damage.

 

With all that Gas money your saving you should be able to easily fund this rebuild!

 

I wish. I live less than two miles from work so I'm not saving a lot on gas but it is getting 38MPG right now.

 

Not sure how much help I'd be, but let me know if you need a hand sometime. I've got quite a bit of free time this semester, so far.

 

Will do, Mainly I will need help getting the engine maneuvered into the engine bay and mated up to the tranny. I plan on installing the turbo, etc. with the engine out.

 

44lb will be a nice upgrade -a little more would be ideal - no word from them on what the wheel will be ?

 

The size you mean?

 

What it actually is EG T04e 50 Trim , 54 trim etc .....

 

Ah, duh. Gotcha.
