T5/T5-R turbo
It appears the T5/T5-R turbo is obsolete and it is no longer possible to source a new replacement.
Are there other options that would be a straight fit replacement? Thanks, |

Turbo
Is it essential to have a new replacement?
Have you thought about having your old unit remanufactured? If so then give Ivor Searle in Soham a call. Probably best to contact them through their website in the current Covid-19 situation. They are in your area and had a turbo facility added to their new building only a few years ago. Just Google them for contact details and what they do.

Just buy a CHRA from Melett to suit the original turbo. A mitsubishi Td04 15g in the T5s and T5-r.
https://www.turborebuild.co.uk/websh...urbo-Core.html Pull the cold side of the turbo - leaving the hot side bolted to the manifold - swap out the CHRA - replace the recirc valve & actuator if they are weak (check ebay for spares) - then slide it back in, bolt up central clamp, the coolant & oil lines, replace vac hoses as required. Job jobbed. Set you back about £150 in parts. Hard on the knuckles, getting the banjo bolts out, but very straightforward otherwise. If your not mechanically minded then tak3 it to a garage who can either do the above or take the whole turbo off & semd it to one of the numerous Turbo rebuild specialist before refitting the reconditioned unit. You won't see much change from £650 plus, depending on your garages hourly rate and how much you pay for the turbo rebuild, normally about £350 ish with postage. Good luck, its a easy fix, and you have choices. Cheers, Morgan Last edited by Shinsplintz 101; May 1st, 2020 at 22:17. |

Can an 850R turbo be fitted as a replacement?

You would need the compressor housing as well.

Yes, but you may pay more than needed and they are fairly standard...
Assuming you are staying fairly standard I would just find a 16T unit from a svc70t5 and split it leaving your exhaust housing in place and just directly fitting the turbo core and compressor housing.

Why not just get a TD05 18G? and obviously have the supporting mods to run it.

Is that the idea behind splitting and keeping the original exhaust housing? Really looking at 18/19T options that can be fitted to a T5-R, but keeping the original turbo intact so the car can be returned to standard. |
