Drivin down the road i heard a whine. I looked at Trish. Nope that wasnt it. hmm.. Turns out this is what happened:



I take my car to lovely Cars N Concepts and they say, "are you sure you didnt drop anything in there?" I'm, like "yeah.. Pull that shit out!"
so they did.



So, waiting to find a good place to send the turbos to be rebuilt i got bored:




Turns out that was a good idea:

Before

after


Cash liked it



And that was my motivation to do the entire bay



I was about to break out my wax when i decided it was late and i should go home. But before that, i cleaned and lubed the air filter:

So you have no idea what caused the damage?

believe me i know the feeling. Which is not a good thing. hehe

Tony,

No, i have no idea. Something had to have been sucked through it though. the other turbo is flawless..

I have known a couple people that had similar damage (some worse) and it was caused by rocks (turbo + no filter on the compressor).

You might want to borrow a boroscope to make sure whatever was injested didn't damage any cylinders.

Did you run a compression check to see if there is any problem with any of the cylinders?

If you didn't drop anything anything in your plumbing then I would have to assume that the shop that did the work was to blame.

what kind of turbo is it?
