Default just got a sr and have a questoin

whats up guys just picked up my first sr and had a fast questoin. was out driving it today and the boost was strong then it just lost boot and started poring out black smoke. I can hear the turbo making an awful screching sound like metal is rubbing and it wont make any boost, is my turbo shot or should i be looking for a boost leak.

thanks
i am guessing the turbo just let go

Check you manifold to turbo gasket. Try wiggling your turbo, if you can, you'll need to replace said gasket and tighten down on the hardware.

Check for boost leaks first. It also might be your wastegate actuator fell off:



Same thing happened on my RB, would just scream metal on metal noise and make no boost.

Boost leak, really? Take the intake off and see how the turbo feels...
