Thanks for your replies 'Joker' and 'slystiguy' I will source a new hose today and try fitting it. I had to modify and adjust some of the brackets and shields to get my flexi braided hoses fitted and I don't like the idea of unbolting the turbo taking them off again since they are sitting nice and snug, but I have that uneasy feeling that may have have to.

Thanks, I have replaced the core and all the lines, I struggled to put a clip around the oil return pipe that drains the oil from the turbo down into the sump. I left it thinking there is no pressure on that line/pipe? If I have driven the car for a few miles there's a bit of smoke from oil burning coming of the exhaust underneath the turbo. Is there a way of putting a clip around the drain pipe with the turbo fitted? Thanks heaps for any answers!

I took my old broken Turbo Charger apart and found what looked like a piece of steel wool/wire stuck in the narrow airflow passage on the exhaust side also the rotor blades on the intake side looked pretty bad. No I dea how the steel wire has gotten into it, anyone any ideas?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and i have recently bought a 2003 Legacy B-Spec EJ20 Engine 2L Turbo (VF38) I bought it with the Turbo damaged. I took the Turbo out and have ordered a new balanced aftermarket turbo cartridge on Ebay. Are there instructions and/or tips on how to time the cartridge to the housing? Also do you recommend aftermarket upgraded braided oil lines, bolts, studs etc? Also tips on priming the turbo and common mistakes made on these turbo repairs are welcome.
