No Cookout for me :(

Last night cruising down the road, the car started to act up at higher RPMs, started missing and whatnot. Well trying to push past the misfire I ended up loosing boost and looked in my mirror and saw a HUGE cloud of smoke. Like I couldnt see the car that was 15ft behind me. Got it back to the shop and found this...
Something doesnt look right...



LOL

Then I took the turbo further apart and this is what it looks like













If anyone knows anyone with an FP3575 that they want to get rid of hit me up

I just cant win with this car! LOL

It will be fine dude. Just weld up the outlet and let it buck! But seriously though, that is some shitty luck just in time for the cookout.

We may make a plate that bolts on where the center section bolts to the exhaust housing and block it off and run it up there NA. Just a thought

Re: No Cookout for me :(

You still have some time to get another turbo. Then once it actually runs, stop driving it until Sunday morning before the Cookout. LOL

I don't think Nick's turbo would bolt up. Doesn't that 3575 have the EWG right on the turbine housing?

It's the cookout curse

Out of all my Mitsu's the only one that wasn't broke down for the cookout was the ratty Scummit

Re: No Cookout for me :(

Hmm, did you buy it from FP direct? Or is it a used one? FP is pretty good about warranty work, but they even hooked me up pricewise when I damaged my 3575 compressor wheel a few years ago.

Re: No Cookout for me :(

Probably wasnt torqued down correctly as well as balanced and did you use a thread locker? Tighten that back up unless your compressor whell is really messed up. I have a big 16g compressor wheel if it would fit, was thinking of modding my 14b though. stick it back in there and dont boost

Make sure you remove your intake pipes and intercooler, and pressure wash them out to make sure no metal chunks get sucked down your motor!
