T67 gave out on dyno... I was getting a tune earlier today (Jeremy Formato) and after a few pulls on the dyno, the T67 turbo (Garret) on my rear mount kit gave out. Here is how it went down: after adjusting the boost controller, we couldn't get more than 8 psi, with an 11.5 psi spring in the wastegate. Jeremy said the dyno's were weird, very good A/F across the entire RPM range with plenty of fuel left to play with. The top end felt "shaky", boost was fluttering between 7 and 8 psi. The timing was a safe 18* on my fully built 370 8.7:1. The last pull made NO boost, when the car went WOT, it stayed in vacuum and RPMs did not climb. Blue smoke and the smell of burnt oil quickly followed the last pull. After it cooled down, we check the compressor housing and tried to spin the wheel and it just wouldn't spin much and compressor wheel is contacting something as it tries to spins.
So I'm here trying to stay optimistic by thinking ( woot! time for a bigger turbo!) but the reality is I'm kind of down. I recently spent 8 months not being able to drive due to a blown motor. I saved money like hell for many months, bought a new forged motor, finally got to break it in and try to tune and the turbo gives out. Haven't been able to go WOT in over a year now.
Looking to save money like hell again to buy a new turbo with a warranty. Any sponsors with sympathy want to help me out with a Christmas discount on a new Turbonetics TC78 or a similar T4, you would be my hero. I'm fucked, instead of buying my family Christmas presents, I have to save every penny I can just to be able to get my car back on the road, and feel like a douche on Xmas when I receive gifts and I can't afford a gift for anyone.

Sucks for sure man. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast. I smoked my forged motor after breaking a valve and built a bigger one. Then I smoked the transmission. Then I smoked the clutch. It never ends. Hang in there bro. You'll get your boost one day. Hopefully It'll come along with a Porsche kill where the driver is an arrogant ***** trying to show off to his girlfriend.

If you really got to go broke befor christmas to spend money on your car, I would recommend telling everyone else not to get you a gift for christmas cause you dont have the money. OR do what I would do since my family knows I like presents for my car, have them get the turbo for you DUH!!! would make a good christmas present from the family.
