If I'm just doing a cleaning I just have to split to turbo and deal with the exhaust housing,unison ring and vanes correct? Don't have to take the turbines off do i?
no you dont have to play with the turbine.. id move it back and forth and in and out to make sure it spinns Free and doesnt have a bunch of play in it.. and make sure it doesnt have any missing or broken blades..
Tks. No play. Really wasn't bad rusty or sooty. The actuation dial was sticky though. Really didn't see anything that would cause the sticking I had. Now just trying to get this thing back together---not easy.
Yep I used the brush to put it on but then wiped the excess off for about 15min. Probably had a bit more then I would like
But it worked. Took a few miles to get primed and everything working properly but when it did it was nice. We'll see tomorrow morning if it sticks when not in use. I really think if I have problems now it's the vgt solenoid. Did seem to have a bit more umf. Oh and I use the 1800 degree stuff. Copper would just melt I think lol
I have a turbo sitting on the shelf that is slathered in compound that
will need a little wiping before it is installed. But with all the moisture
in the air here the less I have to clean rust off the better.
One thing I would really like to do is send the hot-side snail to Jet-Hot High Performance Coatings
and have it coated to see if that will help keep the heat out of the engine bay.
I'd like to do that too.. i just can't stand rusty crap. Those harbor freight 2" disc did well. Took a bit of doing to get it between everything but did the job.

The copper anti-seize I picked-up at O'Reilly's had a 2000 degree temp rating, 400 degrees higher than the aluminum stuff I've been using for a hundred years.
Also, does anyone know if there are trouble codes that specifically relate to the solenoid? Only asking because the unison ring cam was nowhere near that easy to move when I tore my turbo apart. I wish I had known to remove the cap to check the movement of the ring like Ron did at the end of the video. Oh well, gonna have to pull it again anyway and have the turbine balanced I think. This thing hums and vibrates like a *****.
Keep in mind that aluminum is a sticky metal. That will increase the chance
of is balling up and binding. It the same problems that a machinist can have with it.
Add force and heat and it will turn to gum.
