Hi all,
So the Turbo on my S14 started cutting out during the summer...just for a few seconds at a time at the exact same place on a trip I have to do weekly. About 10 mins into driving, once on the motorway to take my dad his papers during lockdown. It was always at exactly the same place on the motorway so I figured maybe it was a cooling issue? It stopped doing it once the weather got a bit cooler too. I'm no mechanic but it felt like the turbo was cutting out momentarily.
In the last week or so the Turbo has barely been working at all and I have just found out why. The manifold inlet to the Turbo is basically being held on by gravity right now...all the bolts have sheared and the gasket is broken and hanging out. So I have been looking at diagrams online of the manifold,turbo and engine just so I know how to describe it to my mechanic.
The images I have been looking seem to differ a lot to the way my manifold looks. Can someone look at the images and tell me if my manifold is standard?
Also if anyone knows a good place to get the gaskets I will need for the turbo/manifold please direct me.
