Replaced one of those on Princess's car (I think that's the user name) recently, the old one is kicking about on my drive.

| So how is it going nine months later? After filling the M6 with smoke this week I have a feeling I am needing a new turbo. Also which ebay seller did you get it from? |

Quick update - Chinese turbo is dead, R.I.P Chinese turbo.
Two years and two months, approx 26,000 miles, then seals let go and filled my induction track with oil.
I have replaced it the easy way by fitting a turbo cartridge only, much quicker and easier to install, not Chinese this time it is made in Slovakia....

| Nothing wrong with Slovakian IMO. Do you have a link for this particular cartridge? |

Hi Yoza,
Sorry to bring up an older topic. Do you have any details about how you went about just replacing just the cartridge? Did you just separate the turbo in situ by undoing the bracket that holds the two halves together?
I'm considering this option now...
Cheers! |

Yes, nice and easy, just disconnect the hoses and water/oil pipes then undo the turbo collar ( single 10mm bolt, it looks a bit like a U bolt ) then pull it away towards the front rad.
You can then change the cartridge in the comfort of your garage, kitchen, living room or shed. 
Don’t twist the turbo off as there is a tiny dowel and location hole that keeps the turbo in the correct orientation, easy to sheer off.
Also the main circlip you will need to take off to remove the compressor housing needs a quality pair of pliers to do the job.
Worst part of job for me was disconnecting and reconnecting the oil return pipe on the bottom off the turbo x2 10mm bolts, the pipe is half steel and half rubber pipe.

Brilliant, thanks for this, I might go down this route to save messing around with seized exhaust manifold bolts etc. Yes, fitting the oil return pipe is super fiddly!
Does this give any access to the back of the wastegate actuator so it can be swapped or did you just leave the old one on?
Thanks! |

The actuator and connecting rod stays in place, I just removed the two bolts and slid it to the side.

| Ah okay, I was thinking of replacing the actuator but I guess the only way of doing that is to remove the whole turbo and exhaust manifold which I don't want to do if I can help it. Thanks for this, hope your new turbo cartridge lasts for a good while. |

When you remove the front half of the turbo the actuator and rod is easily accessible- the rod is in two pieces held together with a long nut and a locking nut which is used for adjusting the length of the rod.
Mine wasn’t working properly as it was full of oil, when I replaced the cartridge and drained the actuator it worked well, you can test it’s action by blowing air into the boost hose connected to the bell part of the unit.

Nice one, thanks. Fiddling with the turbo is on hold temporarily as the van just failed it's MOT and needs £600 worth of welding.  |

Oh dear, unfortunately, common with Delica's.
Shop around, suggest try Mobile welders.
40 years back, did that for a living, alas, no more

A minor inconvenience.
If you are willing and able to do the welding prep work, then do as deker says and and get a quote from a mobile welder fabricator, they are often much less than a garage quote.
I will hazard a guess the areas requiring attention are rear bump stop and coil Spring mountings and or rear inner arch to chassis.
It would be easy to lose heart, but it's just another job, once it's done, it's done.

| Thanks for the moral support Yoza and Deker. In the end I've opted to get my garage to do the welding as I need the Delica daily for work and they'll give us a courtesy car whilst it's being done so I should be back up with minimal disruption. Then messing around with turbos can begin! |

I used long nosed pliers and a good quality vise wrench. Irwin. |
