Yeah, explain to me how dirty oil in the turbo would take out an engine? It goes straight back into the oil pan, not through the engine! If the aluminum from the compressor cover was supposedly the culprit, that would not get down in the oil either, just leave lots of aluminum bits in the cylinders, or pass right through.

The only way it could do something would be to send so much crap through that it clogs the filter and bypass' it. I warned you once, don't get taken in by Rick's words. He tends to throw around a lot of ideas and big words. It is very easy to get swayed by him if you don't know exactly what you are talking about. I have had a very similar experience with him and he still will not admit that he is to blame for my engine going. Through me doing more research (which HE should have done) I found out the real cause of the problem. Rick thinks he is a guru (he doesn't pretend, he really thinks he is!), but he is not. There are several people on this board that know more about DSM's than Rick.

If he thinks he can tune a car with just an EGT guage, he is sorely mistaken. That worked with the small 16g's back in the day, but not when you get to a bigger turbo like a 50 trim. That thing was probably knocking like mad, and that killed your engine. If he is going to "tune" cars, he should at least spend $100 and get a damn logger so he can monitor knock! [/rant]
