[sc0tty8]

details.

List 'em.

[zurno]

doesnt spool, no boost at all

sounds louder than before

might of run low on oil for3 the turbo (separate reservoir)

[sc0tty8]

Ever change the oil?

[spots25]

sounds like you need a new turbo

[zurno]

you don't "change the oil" for the aerocharger setup. you just add oil to its resevoir, which it may have gotten a bit dry

time to call chuck

I thought the areo chargers you changed the oil....where the hell does the oil go then?

Ah well....

I am sure someone on the jet has a turbo that will fit or you could make one fit....bigger turbo

If I had known I was coming into this tbird I don't think I woulda bought this ported head I got...

[zurno]

the aerocharger just has a little line that runs down to it, the bearing are fed with a wick system

[sc0tty8]

Can't it be rebuilt?

[zurno]

probably cost a lot

I emailed hiperformance and they didnt say how much, but I did get a response quickly

[sc0tty8]

Call 'em and ask them.

I bet it would be cheaper to rebuild, then get a whole new set-up.

Didnt somebody make a upgrade kit using a different turbo?

Thats what I am thinking, I swore I seen something on FJ, I think the flange or something had to be changed, I haven't looked for it recently.

the upgrade kit is over 2 grand
