Quick question not trying to hijack the thread.
I have a K26/6 which sucked in a bolt or maybe sobatage it did not get injested into the turbo but it sheared off the turbines and is logged so the impellar does not turn can these guys repair it.

Before I ran into this thread I would have said yes..

 

IBKevin...can this turbo fixed or upgraded to a k27/6

Norm

 

It can certianly be fixed. But what is more important is where did all the material from your impeller go? Trace the charge air path, inter cooler>intake manifold>head. If you find pieces in the head, purge your vaccuum lines. Look at the recirc side, waste gate>boost controller. If your crankcase pressures are off due to bad seals, they may have made it into the crankcase.

Look at how much material has been displaced (quick-large chunks, slow-far reaching slivers), and start at the intercooler. Hopefully, it "filtered" most of it.

FOD or DOD damage on a turbo car is typically not a cheap fix.

 

The turbo was replaced already no damage the particles were too small, everything checked out intercooler is clean car boost and has power like it should. I was going to toss it when I saw the thread about rebuilding turbos and upgrading to a k27/6 that caught my attention.

What's the best source for a new or rebuilt wastegate..


Need more power.....boost is contagious

 

Best wastegate around is the Tial 38mm, it runs you about $ 315.00 from my swiss another rennlister, the tial is not easy to install and may require welding, also good is the deltagate from Lindsey racing, which is a straigh replacement but it does cost $ 399.00 and requires a core exchange. For a much cheaper and easier alternative you can try shimming the wastegate like the following example;

SHAMELESS PLUG: I have a Lindsey DP wastegate, brand new never installed (still in lindsey packing) I will ship to lower 48 for 400.00 , no core.

 

My tial bolted right up with no problems.

 

So did mine. Norm, do you have the one piece cross over tube?

IMO, the Tial works fine and in this case you'd save $85.. HAHA.. un jack that, O!

 

87 I think it's a 2 piece crossover and the wastegate is shimmed.

 

The 38MM tial from My swiss bolts right up easily with the adaptor plates. I have a 46mm tial which required welding the WG dump pipe with the right flange. The Lindsey unit isn't a "deltagate" but a modified stock unit. Personally the deltagate and racegate blows compared to a Tial.

 

WTH? that's one of my auctions. The lart951 wastegates are guarantee to out perform the competition, many years of R & D were needed to produce this high level of technology.

 

Yeah, Porsche's R&D money.. Luis, I'm sure this "security breech" will not topple Lart Industries global domination.
