My Talon

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Ouch! I'd say that turbo is pretty much toast.

I've seen worse damage than that on Holsets and my brother was still able to rebuild them at the diesel shop he works at.

OMG!!!! I didnt think it was going to be that bad. Sorry to see that man! Any idea on what you are going to do now?

[Halon]

I thought these were supposed to be durable?

J/K, Sucks to hear man. What's your plans?

[turbotalon1g]

I had the same thing happen to me, well the line was uber loose, but i noticed a new leak so i checked it.

ANother thing to check.

Wanna take our turbos and throw them at each other..we can see which will be more durable then! flippin car shits.

Haha, well the feedline fitting that screws into the center section came loose. I'm sure because the turbo had very little oil flow and almost no pressure as I was making a pull everything got hot, the shaft seized/broke, and the turbine wheel went crazy. It also tore up the BEP housing I have...

So I will see about getting the turbo rebuilt, if it's possible. It that works, I'll try my best to clean up the turbine housing with a die grinder and hope it works half-assed.

This isn't anything about the turbo being unreliable. I'd get a Holset again.

I might look into a PTE as a cheaper alternative IF I cannot repair this turbo.

SCM61 go for it!

[Halon]

I was kidding about the reliable thing. Best of luck with it dude!
