Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Comp wheel, aluminum backing plate, comp cover all ground into/trashed. Anyone know of a shop that can get parts? Or take the comp cover, weld it, then turn I on a lathe to get it back in spec?
It's shitty when you spend a lot of money to dyno, just to have something out of your hands fail you, and you are out that money, plus the money for the turbo, plus towing all the way back to my place in savage, if that's why's needed. I BETTER get something out of this.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
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.

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
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!

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

Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!
Well, sat around at work today, and called the company out in FL that the turbo came from. I guess other's he's done has a 360 thrust bearing in it, but not mine. So, he said send it back, and he will honor his turbo, fix it, and have it back to me within a week. I MIGHT even get a billet wheel outta it too! We shall see. Either way, Turbo goes tomorrow headed to FL.
