heres another weird one.

my front turbo is rooted. BUT:

im filling up a catch can in 15mins of hard driving!~!!!!

i was concerd id done a ringland. when i did a compresion test it came up 160-170psi in all 6 cylinders. (hot)

it only started breathing since this turbo f**ked out.(heaps smokey)

is it posible for the presure in the exaust housing to be forced back thru the turbine oil seal????

which is non existant.

any takers?

My guess is when the turbo let go , the engine sucked ceramic dust from the exhaust wheel and has scored your bore .

Have you done a compression test since the turbo let go ? If not do a comp test and a leakdown and then you will be able to tell for sure if its just the turbo or both engine and turbo.

i did have that happen though. needed 40thou to cleanup!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Then it must be just the turbo leaking and you should still have boost .

If the comp is 170 on all 6 the ringlands + pistons are still ok .

Whatever you do, dont let HIM drive your car, Dave.

i'd do a leakdown test to double check the comp test.
