Re: Turbo advice
If you go for a different turbo, then you'll have to consider it might need a re-map, larger intercooler etc, assuming you went biggar, not smaller that is. If your happy with the power you have Id just get it re-built/checked over as & when. A little play in the shaft isnt a problem so I would enjoy it for the summer & have a look in the winter as you say

Re: Turbo advice
If the turbo is 2WD Cosworth, I still got new replacement cartridge. As a matter of facts, these are complete turbo's but the cartridge is the same as the one fitted in a Cosworth. I used to strip these turbo's to repair Cosworth units. I bought them years ago, maybe 15 or more, in an auction without knowing it was useful.
The only difference is the water connection. They use slightly different tread but I do have the banjo bolts to correct this. They also had mechanical seal on the turbo, can run suck through carburetor setup (not needed for Cosworht).

Re: Turbo advice
Rebuilt will be 'as good as new' and a damn sight cheaper than buying new or a refurb'd one.
Ebay is a crap shoot IMO. Plus yours fits correctly. Clean, strip, new bearings and thrusts, reassemble and balance = £200 -250?

Re: Turbo advice
No idea how the 4x4 Escort is build up. All I know is, it fit 2WD Cosworth. We found out by accident. I've never bought the stock as a Cosworth replacement. I bought the lot and first used the turbo's in other applications. There was more than only Cosworth look-o-like, I also had some larger Renault GT R5 T2 turbo's.

Re: Turbo advice
If you get your old unit rebuilt then make sure that it's a reputable company that uses genuine components. A 360 degree thrust is a must too.
