turbo repair

[mitsu90]

A buddy of mine snapped a bolt off in the oil return on his 16g. I have my old frank jr center section. Is it possible to swap the 16g guts over to the frank center secton. Both are tdo5

Why not just drill out the bolt and retap?

You can try to maintain the balance of the turbo by scribing a line on the nut, wheel and shaft. The problem I always run into is that the little metal oil seal on the turbine side doesn't transfer well. And when I try to change it I always find a way to misshape it when I try to get it in the groove.

He tried drilling it out and made things worse /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bawling.gif
