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.
