R5 t2 turbo exhaust housing

[Cragterharris]

I'v got a t2 Turbo with a cracked exhaust housing and need a new one

Offer me what you got

 

[Chris H]

you'll be lucky. they are all cracked.

 

[Cragterharris]

Tbh I don't mind if it's cracked just asking as it seals really as mine was blowing past the wastegate and getting no boost at all

 

[Chris H]

aye, common problem though, especially the age most afre now. I wish you luck in finding one.

You could have yours welded but its tricky welding cast as you probably know then will have to have the wastegate hole machined flat again.

 

[Cragterharris]

That wasn't the only thing
I snapped the bolts that hold the half crescents onto the housing

 

[Chris H]

you can get them out though. Put the housing in the freezer for a day or 2, pull it out take it somewhere get them to weld nuts to the broke studs, they'll come out easily after the freezer treatment. I do that for bleed nipples etc
