Need to dig over some of the build pics now to see if it's there.
At least its a result.
The old actuator was moving though?
so the cast exhaust turbine housing has developed what looks like two "blow" holes in the casing?
And your welding it back up????? (Sorry Reg, 1x ? is enough), Whats the inside casing look like if its melted through and the turbine itself?
Thats serious heat bud....
Whats the K03 journal bearings made of?
Has the compressor housing rubber seal to the backplate twisted? Just looks a little dirty / oily around the backplate in the 1st pic.Last edited by Activ8; 12 December 2017, 12:42 PM.

Since the compositions of most cast irons are around the eutectic point (lowest liquid point) of the iron–carbon system, the melting temperatures usually range from 1,150 to 1,200 °C (2,100 to 2,190 °F), which is about 300 °C (540 °F) lower than the melting point of pure iron.Last edited by Activ8; 12 December 2017, 02:26 PM.
