Ok, So I just spent the entire day installing the TD04 Churbo.

Trying to undo dump pipe bolts from the back blind on tip toes is something I hope wont have to do again for some time.

Also made the will this exhaust stud snap face and Will this crusty nut round off wink.

maybe if I had an electric impact wrench might of sped up the process but then again I'm not so sure...I seemed to manage ok with applied leverage.

Much time was sunk...though I made extra effort to clean the threads and prep so it's easier next time round.

So yeah.. out with the old in with the new...fired up the van and "SCREECH" ....bugger.

Ok take the alternator belt off...Still Screeching.

next removed Air con belt and tension pulley...Still Screeching...

Noise to me sounds like a bad bearing...likely culprit the Water Pump...

Possibly the viscous fan but my hunch is the water pump is dying.

So will be taking off the fan which attaches to the water pump tomorrow.

What this means is my old turbo was fine

But I'm sort of ok with the new replacement as the old 1 has done some serious work so maybe i just prevented a future malfunction. Having it as a back up spare is always handy too..

Comparing the old and new some minor differences, the turbine housings have the same matching cast/mold numbers.
I Didn't measure the compressors or turbines but the compressors look about same and the Churbo TD04 turbine appears larger which might be the TD04/TF035 difference.

So that to me suggests a little slower spool up but much more free flow under load.

Not the outcome i was hoping for but a good result non the less.
