Alright...
The turbo is off and I am attempting to take it apart so if there are any obvious reasons for the major oil blow through.
As I have loosened all the screws and removed the pressplates (?????), no problem to get the cold side cover off.
The rest is another story, fat chance. Do I have to loosen the screws on the turbowheels to get it apart?
The exhaust above is way to noisy and I really dont like the sound from it. I have to get someting different.
From the outside, the turbo looks good.
A small crack in the housing where the plate is fastened. Would that matter?
Turbo is off and I have started to take it apart. The oil spill at the bottom is evident.
This is where I am stuck. Bolts are off but no chance to get it separated.
Do I loosen the wheels?
There are no axial play and the wheels are spinning freely.
