turbo went bad
 
i have a 14b and i noticed the other day there was a little oil around the compressor side outlet flange where it connects to the j-pipe (think its called) so i take it off, and find small metal flakes in there and a little bit of oil, not much at all. take my pre-turbo intake off and check for shaft play, feels tight..

so i rinsed out my charge pipe (turbo>intercooler inlet) and put shit back together, notice i can turn the whole compressor side and center section from exhaust side a little. see a vid clip here http://www.badongo.com/vid/124453 takes a minute to load..

basicly im just wondering what could have happened and if the turbo is junk now. i've never really heard of a turbo comming loose in half like that but im no expert.. by the way this turbo is on a civic
