I am afraid in my quest for "Mo Farrah" av gon an blawn me terbo ..... my boost had been set way too high and the bearing could not cope, so I think I might have to detune my engine until I can build a more robust set up.
Tub is beyond repair as compressor wheel is damaged, so I bit the bullet and ordered a chinese copy as there is no way I can afford even a reconned tub, came yesterday so I will get some pics of it up later.

Can you get high capacity/high pressure oil pump for that engine,if not shim relief valve for a bit more oil pressure to feed turbo and rest of engine better.

Turbo's fail because people never let them spool down after hard driving and it was probably well used prior to you,bit of a bugger after all the graft

Rebuild kits are available but would you trust something that's got to run at silly revs and heat without being set up properly, No.
