That really does suck, bro...but as Mark said, at least you identified the problem.

 

I'd sue!

 

Sean said it looks like a piece of the fluxcapacitor.

 

could be a sabo job. honestly, I don't see where that piece could have come?! hard to tell the size of the pieces but doesn't look like anything along the intake that looks like that.

 

I'm completely bewildered also Oak, the only thing I can think of is a poor hose connection joint within the intake system, even then that width does not look like it can be. I wonder if something has been overlooked/left sitting and they have just bolted it back together.

Good question "WHO DID THE WRENCHING"

 

I guess the filter should be fine cause all the metal debris won't go through there. The chamber room could have some damage though.

It hurt people's feeling to see this. I feel so badly. Good luck!

 

Hey
These turbos were not from Suman's car . ? . ? .

 

These were the "GT800" Evoms turbos that were from Suman,
as I had inquired about purchasing them at one time.

I hope there is no damage beyond the turbos.

 

Yes they were, but Suman never installed them. Im sorry to hear this bud.

Wow - this could have been Sumans car if it was faulty turbos

 

Oh man, that blows dude. You have to take the WHOLE intake tract apart now including the hoses behind the engine to make absofukinlutely sure it's all clean. Good excuse to change that all out now to something bigger though. Hope you have a ****box to drive around in for awhile bro.

You know, those pieces look like a flange of some sort partially broke off - intercooler ends, or from the other side. Take that all apart and let us know what you find.

 

Suman has a car ? Just messing around with you, but I am certain when you are finished with this beast you will have a top 5! Chris, when you send your turbos off you should see if Tial will/can give it the HFE treatment with super light turbines?

Best of luck

For those wondering. My brother (Lil Powell), _Zac, and I built the car about 3k-4k miles ago. We do almost all the work, and anything that we cannot do (Transmission work) we have Akram take care of it for us.

The piece that fell into the turbo is actually a piece of the inlet tube that butt's up with the stock turbo's inlet, but on mine I have to use a step down. It is used to prevent the tube from crushing and well it some how came out of that side and ate the turbo up. The other side stayed perfect. It has been tearing **** up since I raced Paul I think..

This is a VERY big problem for kits like the AP Engineering kits, and any other kit, that use the stock intake pipes. One side stayed in perfect, but the other did not... and if you have anything bigger than K24's then you are at risk of this piece falling in.

I'd like to thank my brother because I would have NEVER thought about that piece being the culprit. I'll be back soon enough. I'll be driving my truck for awhile now

 

Very good information to share with our community.

So sorry to hear it man.
