Hi all and thanks to all replies. I have a 95 BG5 with stock RS engine. Primary turbo has spat the dummy i think can spool up but makes horrible noise and then you can hear it winding down. It has vf13 and vf14 turbos BUT was wondering if I was to put vf16 and vf17 would I have to change anything else!
Thanks in advance

well compair the turbos and dont drive it with a busted charger as you dont want parts of the turbo inside the intake.

Yea I haven't been driving it was just wanting to know if I will need to change anything else. Intake pipes etc coming off to be cleaned when I do turbo's. Thanks for your input

next OEM option was a 18/19 combo, cant be an RS either, pop on over ClubSUB.org.nz and check the Legacy Section, early (your car) have the extra actuator on the secondary that was dropped in later versions, not to sure on the workaround for that

Its definitely an RS engine as that is what we took it out of and put into the BG5 GT

I am pretty sure the 16/17 are off 94 legacy

94 legacy's are fitted with vf 13/14's.

Ok so I have put the vf16 in and it seems to whine when revs dropping. Is this normal!

you mean whistel sortof sound! http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=homiS0Zm5zc make sure the wastegate opens and closes correctly they do get stuck sometimes , should have checked befor fitting . you can see if it ipens when one revs it in idle hard in short bursts the gate leaver should move open and close, otherwise you will blow the new charger soon.
The wistle in the clip is what it should sound like for a healty charger.

Thanks for that. I did move the wastegate before I put it in was hardish to turn where the actuator arm connects to wastegate. There was no play in the shaft sideways but about 1mm front to back. I can't tell if it sounds the same as that clip coz my intake pipe is connected. vf13 sounded very similar but stuffed out(no sideshaft play but 2mm+ front to back)

Primary seems to be boosting alright just bit worried it doesn't sound right.
