I have just checked the turbo again and can not detect any expensive play either axially or radially. Listening carefully it appears to be coming from the rear centre of the engine which is where the turbo sits.
I also removed all the flexi pipework small tubing etc to check for splits. Everything checked out fine.
I guess for the price of a used turbo its worth a punt as its now driving us nuts.
As I work away, I did not get the chance to check until the week before Xmas so did not want to get hold of a used unit as I had no time to fit it and I go back to work 29th untill 14th Jan.
I will source a used turbo on my return.
Any one out there breaking one for spares???
All the best for the New Year
