Martian Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi, My turbo finally arrived, had some slight issues, but all sorted now. Started putting bits together to fit it and found my new oil feed pipe (12mm banjo) is too big, the turbo takes a 10mm. Went to my car to check and the banjo there is a 12mm. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well I feel like a right Rodney, I didnt check the oil feed on the turbo before I went into panic mode. It is a 10mm banjo on the turbo side and 12mm on the engine side, so its ready to go. Its old, but i have checked and there is no dirt or blockages on it so its going on. Its a shame as I have a fancy new aftermarket one that I will have to return or sell on. I wonder why some td05's have 12mm and some have 10mm banjo bolts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Glad you've sussed it , different turbo cores or spec require different oil pressure . So they fit different sizes or bore different size "holes " in the banjo bolts to change oil flow and adjust oil pressure [emoji6]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
