alright i drove for 45 min or so to my girlfriends, i set the trip meter at the beginning of my little voyage and cruzing at 120 kmh (70mph) i used a quarter tank for 57 km, i think something is wrong iv never had it guzzle fuel like that, also on hill and to the floor i can hear a scraping sound at the turbo and when i let off it goes away but once i stomp on it you can hear a scraping, and there is play in the turbine wheel, think i need an hx35. i was driving around town the other day and stomped on it and let off quick and i could hear the turbo do that "bark" when i let off, never had that before or the scraping sound, ill have to look in there in the day time and see if it's been hitting, anyhelp would be appreciated

 

You better look in there.


If that thing grenades, it will take the cylinder walls with it.

 

how much play is aloud?

 

the less the better and not enough to touch the housing.
if it already has touched it might have ruined the compressor wheel or housing or both

 

Any front to rear play is bad. Side to side play is OK as long as you can't make the wheel scrape the housing.

 

i have front to rear play and it's very close to the housing side to side as soon as it gets some real momentum it hits

 

your not the only one getting horrible fuel milage. i have 120 miles on a half of tank. . those are pretty much all in 4x4 and plowing miles though.

 

yeah it's definetly not nice since my fall driving days it was getting 110 km to a quarter tank now it's 57 to a quarter tank, i had a guy rebuild my injection pump at the shop but he backed off my timing and did a few other things and i wasent to happy about it
