JamieP Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Id rather have the T04z refurbished if it was me, why do you think the blades are rubbing on the housing? And whats wrong with the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whats wrong with the manifold? cheers jamie, to be honest i was thinking the same thing. paul and darren said thats what it sounds like when listening under the bonnet. i believe the turbo has been on there a few years so probably wouldnt hurt it being checked atleast. well the manifold is still blowing even after having the gasket changed (as ive been told) so possibly could be cracked, and again ive been told that welds are really only a temp fix so if thats the case ill bite the bullet and chuck on a whifbitz mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
