Van Turbo Rebuild
Got 'er done today. No major problems -- just a socket that was slightly too big, and a spacer that fell off when I pulled the shaft, and didn't see it. Had to call Brandon and confirm what I was seeing was not right. Found the errant spacer on the floor under the wife's truck. When I pulled the shaft out, it came out a little quicker than I expected, and the brass spacer fell (I saw that one), but didn't see the steel hexagonal one that goes on the shaft between the two brass ones...
Have a look at the pics on my WebShots account here (I commented each pic, so you can see what's going on):

Oh, and any of you wondering about the CCV mod, take a look at this and tell me it's not a good mod...

What A/R is the exhaust turbine housing on your van turbo?

Reason I asked, I wasn't sure all van turbos had the 1.15 A/R exhaust. I could see on the pics the compressor housing was a 1.0

Check this out, Tristan:
TurboByGarrett.com - Turbo Tech101
It should explain everything. The lower the number in the exhaust housing, the faster it spools, but craps out at the top end. Larger number, spools slower, but had a lot of top end boosht. The 1.0 housing splits the difference and is good if you want to keep stock sticks. The bigger housing is good for larger injectors.

Good Job Joe!
Now if you would like to get the oil varnish off the outside of the compressor backplate, and the compressor housing, Easy off oven cleaner, or Dawn power dissolver will work. (mineral spirits will work too, but may be harsh on the orings if any seeps into the casing)
Also I know you were asking about a coating for the exhaust side of the turbo, I found some 1200* epoxy paint in my Summit tool catalog that came today. Its a Duplicolor product, so I'm sure you can find some in the big D.

Thanks Brandon. That'll be next...
Might try the high-temp paint too. Kind of late now that it's all put together, but we'll see.
EDIT: BTW, I used Brandon's write-up here:
http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/vanturbo.html
But honestly, it's soooo easy, I only looked at it to double-double-double-check myself on the orientation of the thrust bearing retainer clip. It's a remarkably simple process.

nice job Joe...glad you found that spacer...are you putting it right on? or waiting for injectors first?..I coated my up pipes and Y pipe inside and out with ceramic paint good for 2000 * I got at the parts store..I baked it in a oven per directions on the paint can with a stove I got for 20 bucks..I just pulled it all apart when I did the turbo mod and injectors..the paint is all still there and in good shape....I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving...
