you know when youve labored on your car for three weeks to put a new turbo in and spent hours upon hours in labor and still have a turbo thats leaking boost and coolant and have no clue where to turn......an evo looks really nice about now

 

yep typical balt owner after a cobalt fail.

 

I just read you put a mitsubishi turbo on, and you're pissed it doesnt fit perfectly?

 

I was confused about that as well, but I don't know enough about other other turbos to know if it would work or not...

Why did you not replace your turbo with one of units that we know work on our cars?

 

OP failing > Cobalt failing

 

btw i have a mitubishi turbo on my cobalt but its the only one you can fit in as far as i know. what turbo were you planning on using? and where did you get it from?

 

I have a Freddy mitsubishi turbo on my car.. :P

 

yep that makes two of us lol. i was thinking this would correspond more to you chevy lol

 

If he bought the adapter flange it should work. Unless its got the correct k04 flange. I am still using the lnf stock turbo mani with a adapter plate to fit a t3 flange... It kinda sucks but I'm waiting for treadstones turbo mani.. yep.

 

Etnies, I feel bad for you, man. I know how frustrating cars can be, sometimes. You just need to walk away from it for a while and cool down. Trading it won't even be an option at this point with a leaking turbo, so drink a couple of cold brews and attack it again tomorrow. Feel free to post pics and stuff so we can try to help you. If you get truly desparate, I can send you my spare turbo to try out. If it ends of working for you, we can work out some kind of payment.

 

Damn, I don't know how much is our turbo new, but I would never buy for my car a turbo that was meant to be on a different car. Btw, I have a GM k04 with manifold for sale if you're interested.

 

Now thats a good man!

 

Yea for sure! If only more people would help out like that if they could. Good **** dude!

All jokes aside... OP what are you thinking would be going on? It's a turbo off another vehicle. You have to know that the turbo won't be a direct bolt on... Maybe the problem isn't in your work, maybe its the turbo... Have you taken it out to inspect the seals and such? Made sure you have the lines connected properly? As another guy said, take a step back, maybe pop the turbo back off and start all over, maybe you missed something the first time you will get the second time.
