| GOT BOOST |
Well it is offical. Today at 9:45 pm my beloved CT26 decided to go to a better place. With one final courageous breath at .90 Bar she screamed her last words switching from first to second. Now she is a steady smoke blower, unwilling to produce boost, and if it is asked to, she screams the beloved metal on metal screetching noise.
When I removed the intake and accordian hose, I was successfully able to slide the shaft in and out quite a distance with ease, the turbine shaft would slide from side to side and touch the compressor walls.
Time to find a pre-owned CT26 for a good price for the time being and find a sutable successor.
I am thinking this. What are your thoughts?
Non polished compressor housing
TO4E approx 700HP
360 Deg Dynamic Thrust Bearing
Single Port Actuator
And ofcourse the stainless steel install kit with fittings.

| Hey Mike, check with Raymond at Silverstone for a used '26. He pulls them off for customer upgrades, might have one kicking around. He sold me my CT20 for $250. |

best of luck finding a replacement :)
my garret T3 might be joining your CT26, as i'm hearing an odd noise during spool up. likely shaft play :(.
hope your car is boosting strong in the near future. |

Thank you everyone for your kind words and condolances. Just to give an update, I am temporarly installing a CT26 for the time untill I decide on what Turbo I am going to go with. As for the car, her nose is up on axle stands, and the old CT26 has been removed. I will be intalling the previously owned CT26 tomorrow. I figure by this time tomorrow I will be boosting again.
On a similar note, I had just removed my charcoal cannister. What are the side effects of leaving my charcoal cannister removed from the car permanantly?
A special thanks to Anthony for allowing me to buy his previously owned Turbo!

earls car is running pretty much fine without it, i personally don't have much experiance with it. some people would caution you about the gas fumes from it getting near a hot turbo. i'm probably going to use a smaller one but still keep one on the car.
If you want a hand with it i'm a car whore, i love workin on them, i'm free labour too, ask Dave, Barry and Earl. |
