pajero tdi blown turbo advice needed

Post by mikeyoda »

The intake manifold gasket blew and then oil spewed out everywhere.
Took the inter cooler pipe off and oil ran out of the turbo ,so I am assuming the turbo seal is gone.All pipes are covered in oil.The turbo has very minor play in the shaft but hasn't rubbed the blades on the body.

Turbo is a td04.

Questions:
Should I buy a new turbo ? and any recommendations from were from , or should I rebuild this one? Kit on ebay is about $100 delivered.
Is this the same turbo used in a wrx?
Can I buy a rex turbo as they seem cheaper.

I dont think the motor has been compromised sucking in a litre of oil over the last week


Cheers
Mike

I f you remove/reduce the load on a turbo it can/will over-speed and this will cause oil leaks. Clean it all up and reassemble it then run it and monitor the oil usage
