On a more serious note, I pulled an intake pipe off to measure for couplers, and found that my "new" turbo's have been fucked up by some piece of random (no longer present) debris that I didn't manage to get out of the system from the turbo explosion. Glad these little fuckers are cheap, is all I can say. Not looking forward to putting ANOTHER pair of turbo's on.

I would assume it happend shortly after I put them on, but I really don't know. I haven't had the car apart at all since I put them on.

Wow that sucks, it cannot be fun swapping turbos on that. I helped do timing on my friends n/a r/t, and that was no fun.

That's so gay! How long does it take to swap a pair of turbos on that car?

Probably 2 days of straight working. That sucks dude. The compressor wheels got fucked?

Yeah the compressor wheels are a bit fucked. The front one is worse than the rear, but they are both fucked up. It's not THAT bad to swap them, but it's a most of the day project. I don't plan changing them out unitll after I do the FMIC, no more taking chances. They still make boost ok, I hadn't noticed a difference at all.

Just be carefull nothing goes into your engine. Turbo's would seem like a pretty small issue in comparison.

Then I have an excuse to put in the built (not currently assembled) motor, billet oil pump gears and and valve springs in and rev it to 8500+ and autoX in 1st gear. :)
