that is really shitty.
see what diesel componits can do with it.

you should have called me we could have got the car back to your place

[Matt D.]

Good luck, buddy. Hopefully you'll have some good karma come your way.

[scheides]

Just take it to diesel components man, have them fix it, and send the guy you bought it from the bill (unless it was from oil starvation or something). Don't fuck around, just do it right.

Sorry dude.

Glad it's only the turbo, I'd really like to hear what it did before it gave out, but you must have been making some boost for it to go out like that, so cheer up and let us know!

[TheBlizzard]

Apparently it did like 454 or something on a half pull at 28psi before it blew.

[A//// Guy]

Keep your head up, youll get the shit figured out! Youre sooo close!

That sucks man, wasn't a good day for anybody at DB yesterday, first your turbo poops out, then the Supra has problems. :(

Thanks guys. Thanks Chad with the turbo help an such. John, no idea what I'll do but I want to get the same thing. The guy I got it from usually orders them through another company for his customers. He had ordered 2 for his customer who then flaked out on hu project (galant vr4) and so he ha this to get rid of, hence the deal I supposedly got. He's running one of these on his "beater" 2g and he's going to pull it today to see if it's a 360 degree thrust bearing. He doesn't think that would matter, but then again he's not a specialist or deisel tech whom deals with turbos all day.

Funky, first fuel, and now what!? Horse shit day.

Iguess what I say about going to DB or any other shop to dyno I'd like the dentist afterall-anxiety, and not a guarentee you'll walk out all smiles.
Right when we were about to start turning up the boost to see about making some power we heard a very faint knocking sound, so we shut it down loaded her back on the trailer and headed home.

Drained the oil and it has some very fine metal particulate in it.... So now I am going to pull the engine and check clearances and wear patterns on the bearings. Hopefully we caught everything in time I can just whammy new bearings in there and use some better oil.

Shit happens I suppose.
