after 10 years its coming back to life

[craig]

turbo is still bad seals blown and has a bad surge.

picked up a pte5031e for dirt cheap that is in great shape. the hot side was decked flat both flanges and the cold side was powder coated almost chrome. Will be taking off the evo 3 turbo on my weekend and putting the new turbo on. The only thing it was missing was the hot side clamps. It just had the bolts holding it lucky i still have the bad gt40 and took them off that and reused them.

got the new turbo put on. Also found out the e3 16g is just fine and was not the smoking problem. So it will be up for sale now.

God I hope I'm not in the same boat, my turbo came off today for rebuild, if it goes back on and I still burn oil I'll probably cry.

Head leaking oil instead?

[TkrPerformance]

It was the way the catch can was made. It was the one that was in the hatch back and was not hooked up. I bet that is why it was not used at the time. It is now fixed Nd working like it should. The intake pipe have 1/2 a qt of oil in it. Going to make a 2nd can for the breather to intake pipe tomorrow. Car works good now pulls all the way to 30psi.

Well it is all apart in the garage for the 3rd time :(

What happened?

[TkrPerformance]

lifted the head ho the way to work yesterday. ended up dumping oil in to 2&3 and out the front of the block from one of the head drain holes. Also now the pte5031e has good side to side play.
so
head has to go back to gosh to be cleaned and checked a 2nd time
new head studs
new head gasket
find a timming cover (it broke taking it out)
Get the pte 5031e fixed or have it made in to a billet pte50 for around 600.00 (all new but reuse my hot side)
