Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

Well on the way home today from work. I decided to do a pull as i had just finished prior to work, bleeding my clutch and setting the engagement. And......

Well the clutch held just fine however in pretty sure I blew my hx40 turbo which has about 4000 miles on it now. Will pull the intake pipe tomorrow to verift if there is shaft play etc.

But:
24psi when it happened and was at 8500rpms. I was logging at the time of incident.
I now can't boost at all (i think its locked down for reasons below) goes to 0 on the gauge and stays. Absolutely not turbo spool sound (hx's are normally loud)
There was tons of smoke (1am hard to see color)
Oil on/from the center section of the turbo
Exhaust got like 1/2 as loud as it usually is almost sounded stock.
Car backfires and sputters on decal really badly
And oil pressure dropped from 80 to 58 by the time I got home

At least I still have the HX35 in the garage. Not sure what would have caused this. I have a -12an drain with a -4 line (restricted to -3an) fed from oil filter housing.
