Broken 1.6 JX Turbo mount

Post by Mud$hooter »

Hello, I just noticed the bracket which holds the turbo to the exhaust is broken and leaking exhaust. It's the bracket which has the oil lines running through it. The red arrow is pointing to the broken bracket. Can I still buy this turbo?

Thanks for the help!

Most T3 specialists will likely have one.

Judging by the new bolts etc the turbo has recently been looked at. That part you are asking about is called a turbo "core" and can be bought for about a quarter of the price of a complete turbo.
Usually they are a pig to change because all the bolts will have seized solid, but in your case everything looks fresh, so should be straightforward.
