Are you priming the Turbo with oil in the feed port?

Yeah, I made sure I did do this. Brand new oil, oil filter and air filter. Cleaned out all the pipes etc..

[JHI30]

I am also interested in the faulty replacement.     Who supplied it? I assumed it was new. Is it a Chinese knock off of the original?

Yep brand new. Am I allowed to mention the place on here? Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a Chinese knock off. If it was, they made a very good copy visually! The company is in Korea. I had previously bought parts from them before without any issues.

Hmm I only used spanners and wrenches. I didn't remove the EGR as TW but I can only repeat him;  a lot of cursing was involved at the time.

Did you actually manage to remove the pipe without the EGR?

If you're removing any coolant hoses, yes .

Wow! Well done

[Dazzler]

Yep, no problem mentioning them. Seems they've done the right thing anyway.

Company is kpartsmall in Korea. They ignored every email I sent them. I was sick of waiting so sourced another turbo elsewhere as I needed my car. Their returns policy states you put in a return request, send the faulty part back and they will contact you once they receive the item, either refund or replace and reimburse your shipping costs. So in the end I did that. Now it gets better. DHL rings me and says they are unable to contact them lol. The turbo was stuck in uncontrollable customs for a week. It’s now been escalated to PayPal. Fingers crossed I get my money back. Obviously something dodgy has occurred with this company if they are not responding or able to be contacted. Lesson learnt for me now

Oh dear.. I didn't realise that! Future buyers beware then.

I get the impression they've gone out of business.

I can knock up a website like that in less than an hour, then not answer any calls or emails.

From the New Auxford Ductionary:

Gonz a word or one-liner used to amuse or baffle the reader.

Gonzer one whose vocabulary is dominated by the use of Gonz words.

Gonzed to be a victim of a Gonzer .
