Broken compressor blades

When the intake manifold is lifted the turbo intake tube will be easier to replace.

 

The oil cooler, I think its one of those, cheap insurance to replace it, I know its like $240.00 but the piece of mind...may be worth it.

 

The IAG kit or if your handy, you can buy the parts and make up your own oil line with a inline filter.

 

So I've been thinking while waiting on the turbo rebuild. If I replace the oil cooler, shouldn't I replace the oil pan as well? Or does the latest logic say you can now get those clean?

 

I don't want to go overboard thinking I'm seeing ghosts under the bed, but I don't wanna shortcut it either. The more I read on here, the more it drives home Vsquirrel's point about rabbit holes.

 

BTW - there was no filter in the banjo feeding the turbo. Am I to interpret your advice to add one if it isn't there?

If the turbo didn't explode you don't need to replace all that. Again see my build thread to see what that rabbit hole looks like.

If your not sure there is no metal in the oil system, a in-line oil filter to the turbo will protect it.

 

It should be easy to find some AN fittings, make a line up with a filter and then a line to the turbo.

 

Thinking more, you could remove the AN nut at that junction before the turbo, bend that to the outside, make up your line in a loop with a filter and connect it to the AN fitting you removed/disconnected that supplies the turbo.
