I dont think the housing is damaged, i mean a light scrapping! But is that all it needs??? The sil80 is a good girl but being honest ive put 10k into the Chaser and it wouldnt sell even if i tried!Originally Posted by Cooldrft
That dont sound good.
Might be cheaper picking up another turbo if the housing is damaged.
If you go for a different size turbo it'll mean another remap so probibly better of sticking with the gt35r.
Would it take much to get the sil80 up to spec

You could use the sil80 as a back up for fermoy "cut-off switch + fire extinguisher + you're flying".
Best talking to the experts tomorrow + take it from there.
I taught that turbo wasn't very old "think I remember bon posting that it was replaced not too long ago".
Any idea what went wrong to cause the core to fail ?
Did the oil/water temp go very high ?
