Could you pm me if you get any back in stock? Cheers

An old post I know but are there any driver's side seat cushions available? Manual seats.... Cheers

Cheers Grimbo. Will run it from a jerrycan before going any further. Having the pump off again is a last resort at this stage my gut instinct is cavitation too

Yep, probably will

Cheers tractionman, after I wrote the post the local denso engineer suggested the same as you, i.e. if there was air in it the symptoms would be as you described. His opinion was probably the governor, which is annoying because the pump was off for a refurb about 6 months ago. It's running like...

The pump on my 24v is making a rattle that is noticeable when driving particularly under light load and lowish revs. Pump was refurbed about 6 months ago.

Thanks Grimbo it's a 24v

Evening all, I'm installing a PDI front mount and would like to know which vacuum and boost hoses can safely be removed when the crossover pipe is taken out. Some pics from someone who's done it would be really useful!! Cheers

So, it's all back together and going again. Oil analysis from the oil that was in it when it failed showed surprise surprise elevated iron and copper levels from the turbo shaft and bearings. Found out that the oil pressure was tested before the turbo came out first time and was 40psi so within...

Shayne, that's it 100%. It was worn, but still working. Had a heap load of other work done and it seemed sensible to get the turbo overhauled while I was at it. Just drive on and keep the fingers crossed?
