adnanshah247 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Turbos in good nick - the turbo with 3 style blades (right one) was re-built by Mark Phoenix I believe. Not a turbo's expert but they look clean inside and outside. Were bought because i thought mine were going but turned out to be a plumbing issue, never got round to fitting these. cost me £300! looking for £200 and approx £25 delivery.

Scott Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Am i right in saying that these turbo's won't be matched then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 what do you mean? well basically the 3 blade one goes as the first turbo because apparently the 1st turbo does majority of the work on the car. if somebody could add some further knowledge about this it would help but im just saying what i was told, not sure if true or not but does kinda make sense.

I'm no expert but i think the one with 3 blades is the 2nd turbo (going by the actuator). Normally for a twin setup both turbo's need to flow the same amount of air. If one is more efficient or powerful than the other then it will pound it with the extra pressure causing, i assume, surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take my word for it buddy, ask the more experienced guys on their opinion of them. The 2nd tubby certainly looks fresh but i don't know what it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any one confirm whether these will work ok together or not? Also are these still for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
