Would have to adapt intake from 1 hole to two hole carb, fit carb in box, redo the exhaust, etc. Not too big a problem, but the carbon seal is just machining a new thrust collar and a seal plate to fit the holset. Holset turbo seals have a removable plate that holds the actual seal in, so it's not too hard to adapt them.

ah ok, fuckin get to it then!
but i guess in the grand scheme of this lovely vehicle turbo issues are of a lesser consequence then the "multi-piece" input shaft and the tight converter that creates them.Comment

Im keen to see how you go about it. I've got a hx40 id like to carbon seal too at some stage. Not many really play with holsets in Australia.Originally posted by Xnke View PostOriginally posted by RdynoOriginally posted by TripperComment

I can also ask the the old boy who rebuilds the turbos at my work if he has any info on it. as some of the stuff runs large holsets, if you guys are keen?Comment

Basically, pop the dynamic seal plate out as if you'd be replacing the main thrust bearing, make a new thrust collar to replace the one that uses the dynamic seal, and make a new seal plate that holds the carbon seal button. That'll be it, just have to find a carbon seal with the correct ID/OD/Thickness to work with
T4 size seal is pretty fuckin' close though, I'm waiting on one to arrive.Comment

fair enough.
any progress on this bad boy?Comment

Not yet. Need Ernest to pull the turbo back off and bring it to the big shop, so I can make the carbon seal holder.Comment
