I Think I Blew My Turbo...

[SXY_33]

Hey guys,

i was drivin home last nite. as i was turning a corner i heard a strange noise. sounded a lot like miss-fire, i could feel a vibration coming from the engine bay. I figured my coilpacks had finally gone. I was only a few mins from home and had to go to work so i figured ill drive it slowly home. the noise would go and come back, the car had no power at all. then as i turned into my street the noise when and then all of a sudden there was a loud winding noise, the higher the revs the louder it is. sounds like turbo wheel is scrapping against something. and its def comin from the turbo side... and im only getting vac no boost!!

anyone had this happen...???

good thing i was looking into getting a high-flowed turbo anyways lol

i've got the basic mods:

fmic

turbo back stainless 3' with no cat

pod filter

safc

was making 190rwkws at 12psi

and thats all i really wanted for street use.

can u guys help me choose a new turbo, since im upgrading it would b nice to have round 220rwkws on a safe tune, i was looking at the

GT3076

or getting mine highflowed by Hypergear - around $800 and comes with 12mnths warranty

i dont want anything big and laggy and so i have to spend another 3k changing injectors, ecu...etc

im happy to spend around 1k.

any advise would help.

Thanks guys

also is the r33 gtr turbo a direct bolt on... would that be an "upgrade"...

the GTR has 2 turbos so no. A highflow would suit yours needs performance and price wise.
