The reason I bought the new turbo was the VF36 was leaking oil and I thought the exhaust seal had gone, when the VF36 was removed we found that the oil drain pipe was not the correct one, this may have been the leak.

But I thought what the hell lets try the eBay one whilst we have the VF36 off, I'm not 100% sure if the VF36 is okay or stuffed, is there anyway of checking the turbo to see if the seals are okay??

It proves that ball-bearing turbos are the way to go, so much snappier to drive on the street.

cheers
