Having never pushed the limits of my turbo R33, i got to thinking about what happens when you blow one. So quite simply, whats happens when you blow a turbo (such as the classic overboosting concequence of pushing a stock ceramic/nilon turbo to destruction)? Can you still drive home? or will you be taking a tow truck home? And also, how many people out there changed over the turbo at home, Vs getting a shop to do it. Was it a great difficuilty, or just a lot of grunt work? Hoping to never have this happen, but am interested to know

bought the car, 1998 R33 gtst 40th anniversary series 2 or 3 i dont know, debatable, anyways, drove for a month, no dramas, one day lose boost and power so crawl 2km home whilst making ungodly bloody grinding noise, figured i blew turbo, so, bought a stock r34 turbo, installed it, topped up water and it was back to its old beastly self, infact running and sounding brilliant, so i kinda guessed problem solved right? wrong!! 2 days later, same situation, just putting along, not giving it balls, all of a sudden, loses boost and power again, same as before, did i do something wrong?? is there a blockage in the oil line? was it just a crappy used turbo at the end of its life?? split hoses have been replaced i dont know what else to do, buy another turbo and blow out the engine line with an air compressor?? kinda stumped any advice would be ace, cheers -
I suspect that my stock R34 turbo has a compressor wheel problem and needs to be rebuilt. Looking for a hks gtrs or something to get me around 250-300 kw with good response. Offer me some good turbos with a t3 flange at a good price and we can go from there. Cheers!
