Ill be looking for a turbo then too. lol. Compression is down on cylinder 3 so its probably a mixture of both turbo seals and the piston ringlands F*cked



Yeah i totally agree .. best of luck with dravens engine :thumleft: .. might need a new turbo too :(

By a knackered ct20b so you have a core and have it rebuilt .. fensport comes to mind .


Stronger shaft .. 360 thrust bearing ... nice :mrgreen:

Would I not be able to use mine if the seals are gone?

Not if its a ct26 .. you can only have the compressor enlarged ..no bueno .. its the ct20b's turbine where the magic happens :thumleft: .. trust me ive had both O:)


Bit counterintuitive but the ct20b actually has a smaller turbine .. just better flowing .
