my echo turbo build log
hi guys im starting a new build on my echo. i got a td03 turbo for free from school and that just gave me enough motivation to actually think about boosting the little car. as of now i have the turbo and a small intercooler off of a mazda millenia. currentley what i have done to the car is
echo rs leather steering wheel echo rs aluminum rims echo rs seats removed spare tire power steering delete a/c delete changed clutch (used a toyota celica clutch and pressure plate)$80 off ebay lol muffler delete turbo gauge 4in1 aem fi/c and now a list of things still to do install aem fi/c custom turbo manifold oil lines / coolant lines intake piping tires (planning on hankook optimo 4s) rebuild turbo i dont expect to get much hp from this tiny turbo (looks like a 0.3 ar) maybe 150ish but i do plan on getting a bigger turbo in the distant future.

looks like the turbo seals are shot. Hope you're doing a rebuild on it first.

You can pressure test it off the car. I would test it to at least 80 psi. The easiest way to do so is with air. Plug one of the oil ports and charge the other. I built a rig for pressure testing things that has a quick disconnect air fitting, then a ball valve, then a 3 way T with a pressure gauge on the second leg and the connection to what I want to test on the third. attach it to the device, connect it to the air compressor and charge it to the desired pressure, then close the ball valve and watch the gauge. If it starts to drop, then you have a leak.

thanks for the tip. i hooked it up to a little 12v tire pump and i started hearing a hissing noise at around 5psi:/ so i guess i got to rebuild it. i might try an ebay rebuild kit.

Was the air coming out of one of the turbines? Also is there any shaft play?

That is one cooked turbo. Hopefully you can clean it all up and rebuild it.
