C6 Reconditioning turbos anything else?

Post by Ads50 » Sun Sep 22, 2019 6:58 am

Hi everyone, I need one of the turbos to be reconditioned as it is leaking, so as the job is quite big I’m going to get both done ... while the work is getting done is there anything else worth doing ??? Any help will be much appreciated thanks

As the engine has to move to get the turbos off, the oil pump shaft seals and 'the' coolant pipes if they haven't been done recently.

Turbos are IHI model RHF55 sub-model VVA1. Bearings and seals are standard RHF55. I've yet to restart my car so mine may or may not leak anymore....
