Is It True A Blown Turbo Can Also Cause Engine Damage ?

[GTR-Ben]

Sounds like you have a leak or blown a gasket or something..

Good (well not for them) to see more people have seen the GTR ceramic turbo can damage you engine when it blows up. A few years back.. people didn't believe me

All gaskets have been check, thanks for your input buddy, actually thanks for everyones input....

Its definately turbo, had couple good mates that work for reputable performance workshops ... They both sed without taking the dump off... 99.9% a fin or two has come off the rear wheel, but not totally gone, hence still making boost but not as much power and they also said the movement in the shaft play is causing the grinding whirling sound.

To check for sure... we took the cat off , easier than taking the dump off and look what we have here bit of ceramic wheel, not whole fins, but bits and pieces of ceramic and residue and dust..

So guess time to save for a TURBO !!!!

Pick up a blown rb25 series 1 turbo today and taking it to get highflow @ MTQ...

Anyone have idea how much im in for ? and what specs and what do i tell them to do ??? i have no idea..

my r32 had standard turbo, i boosted it to 15 an thrashed from day 1, 2weeks later and even more thrashing, the thing started to squeel, lol then after more thrashing it was sqeeling on idle..

after 1 year of continuos squeeling and even more thrashing sold it 3weeks ago, only last night it blew lol and yes buy the sounds of the new owner he will need a engine rebuild...

Decided what im going to do now...

$1550... for a High Flow Rb25 turbo

Using a VL Turbo bush bearing Hi-flow core... Steel wheels..good for 400-450hp

At 12-15psi should be good for 230-240kw@wheels

MTQ Salibury is building it for meeh...

Hope all goes well, will take pics of before and after.. so you guys can see the wheel difference
