And it's not what I wanted to see.

Went to do the test that Markski told me to do the other day and I pulled off my passenger side inlet tube and saw this


It had a TINY bit of dmg on the blades, but nothing that could hurt anything at all. My only guess is that there was some junk in my inlet tubes at one point.

Then I pull off the drivers side inlet tube to find this.



Yeah so basically that turbo is ****ed in the A..... So yeah I did find this in my tube going to the intercooler



So yeah the turbos are coming off tomorrow, both of them and are going back to Tial to get rebuilt...

 

Sorry to hear Powell. Do you know what got in there to cause the damage?

 

I'm hoping when they take a part the turbos they find something, because I am at a loss as to what it could be. There was nothing in the intake track that could have gotten in there.

 

unfortunately it sucks but at least you found it.... glad you listened LOL

I would drain the oil and change the filter too.... it probably went thru ur motor already.... but it doesnt hurt to do it anyways...

 

Trying to think what the hell that is, is there an adaptor connecting intake hoses running down the back of motor, wonder if that has broken off, you will have to check the whole intake system aswell surely!

 

Just noticed you said Intercooler side, bizarre!

 

unfortunately, like most people, I have seen that kind of damage before , but usually it's on a race vehicle that doesn't run air filters and picked up a rock or something. What the heck are those pieces/parts? They don't look like compressor blade pieces or anything else that should even be in the intake tract.

 

Sorry I just could not have you beat Tweety. I had to have Sean sneak that piece into your car when you were not looking.

 

Damn. That's crazy, bro. Sorry that happened, especially since you just put that setup on.

Good luck getting them fixed...what are you going to use for turbos while your gt30's are at Tial?

 

Chris (roadsterdoc) has some extra turbos, you might call him for help.
Robert

 

who did the wrenching?

 

^^^LOL ^^^^

Skinny Kid Racing and his big little brother.

 

That sucks! You said that metallic debris was before the IC? WTF is it? Is the material aluminum? Is it from the intake? You gotta figure this out before you put it back together.

 

so wait , powell, were those peices floating around between the turbo inlet and in the hoses ??

 

Sucks dude. Sorry to hear it. Do you think you had this problem while on the dyno? Hope it didn't hurt your engine.
