A Turbo A CT26?

7mgte CT26s have an A casted on them yeah. I can get you a picture if you want. They are just a normal 7mgte turbo. Not quite sure if there are any distinguishing features of the Turbo A turbo though.

blown seals, burnt oil marks and significant shaft play...

I was told the Turbo A CT26's are stamped with the letter E on the housing.

Thats how you tell them apart.

Like such:

So is it a good buy for the price?

Well awesome stuff. Didn't know that. If you wanna trial fit one you're welcome to try one of my bung ones.

Because I have a single entry CT26 in my AW11 all I have to do (I think) is clock the turbo so that it all lines up.

Is it hard to clock a turbo??

Sorry for my ignorance, i'm new to this turbo game.

Well its not hard. I just don't know whether the wastegate actuator will actually line up with any bolt holes again. Like I said, you're welcome to come and try dude. The compressor on one of my turbos have had its blades destroyed. You can experiment on it if you want.

My cars off the road at the moment, hence the chance to play with the turbo...

Where abouts in Melbourne you at??

Aparently you can get one bolt onto it.
