2008 D-4D Turbo Air Intake Pipe

November 19, 2013

bad luck with the turbo mate.
I have rebuilt many turbos and its not the black art its made out to be.
parts are available ( if turbo is strippable)
do a wee search on google for "turbo chra" and "the turbo guy" to give yourself a bit of knowledge.
the inducer and exducer of the compressor wheel is very fragile and balanced and this will be no doubt damaged with the foreign object
the rest should be ok so should be easy cheap compressor wheel fit and balance.
as for your worries of anything entering engine - this is slim.
ive had a few turbos having shat their guts out and not got past the intercooler.
intercooler will need cleaned out.
another note is the oil you describe
very common to get a film of oil on the induction hosing from breather entering intake after maf but before turbo.
you can imagine if the air filter is blocked there will also be more suction at the breather.
hopefully any pcv system should stop this.
I just bought my avensis from my neighbour who knows diesels and he has done a breath to atmosphere mod and blanked the egr to let the diesel engine function the way it wants to. he showed me the immaculate air intake when he was servicing it last month.
especially

so is it a good idea to blank the egr??

and what would you use to blank it off??

thanks

Did this whistle sound like this.? Three weeks ago a whine/whistle started every time I revvedI found my intake pipe loose? I retightened it with jubilee clip and its continued whining. However no loss of oil!
