    Your most likely not going to like this news but ive gotta tell you.

    Replacing a blown turbo with a functioning one will soon blow it too.

    Ive saw this happen with a friends focus within two months of replacing it.

    Alot of people dont know that you need to replace the turbo oil feed pipe from oil sump pan to the turbo.

    Because the existing one will be caked with sludge this causes the first turbo to fail.

    After replacing oil feed kit,

    Put fresh oil in,

    Run for 15 minutes,

    Add wynnes engine flush

    Run for 5 minutes,

    Drop out oil

    Fill up fresh.

    Turbo oil feed replacement kits retail from 60-110 pounds one supplier is fordpartsuk.com

    No point risking another turbo mate.

    This is the precedure all good mechanics go through.

    Ok thanks Lenny. So do I need to drain oil before I take the old turbo out? :-)

    You would mate,

    Ive not done the process myself but i believe the oil sump pan needs removing to gain access to the gause at the base of the turbo feed pipe,

    Sump pan gets cleaned and the turbo feed pipe replaced.

    No prob mate, all i can say is take your time, swap it out like for like,

    Use half a plastic drinks bottle to store removed bolts, use WD40 on stuboren bolts spray on and try after two minutes,

    And best of luck top respect to you goin at it yourself.
