Re: Turbocharger advice rebuild or buy?

Basic kit or not should not affect your boost level. The basic kit is just that a basic kit with fewer parts. You need to take a look to see how much damage or wear you have and then order the appropriate kit with the parts needed. The upgrade kit also give you some better thrust washers and step ...

Re: Exhaust Manifold Cracks Question w/Pictures

That's the 1 edition style manifold they all do that crack. Volvo changed the design on later production R's and ME7's but the LPT's stuck with the original ones. Now would be a good time to port it and also recess the vanes to reduce further cracking.I haven't read yet anyone not upgrading after ...

No silicone "vacuum" hose is inferior to the rubber lines when fuel, oils and abrasion are a factor. There is less resistance to oil, heat and abrasion resistance on silicone vacuum hoses. There are 2 types of silicone vacuum hoses available organic peroxide cured the thin walled hose that is found ...

Re: Coolant System Work

Here's a write up guys used a hair dryer so I don't think those use that much heat to shrink. Harbor freight has mini torches between 4-8bucks. I use the larger torch on electrical work when I shrink wrap after the soldering connection.

Re: Turbocharger advice rebuild or buy?

Sound like a problem the wheel should never touch I think the bearing inside are toast allowing severe movement of the shaft so that the wheel touches, not a good situation. It reduces boost pressure due to drag or resistance the wheel can not spin fast enough to produce the proper boost pressure ...
