Default Well this isn't good..

Here is a quote of my post from 6speed, but basically this is where I sit on my boost issue I have been having...

Went to do the test that Markski told me to do the other day and I pulled off my passenger side inlet tube and saw this


It had a TINY bit of dmg on the blades, but nothing that could hurt anything at all. My only guess is that there was some junk in my inlet tubes at one point.

Then I pull off the drivers side inlet tube to find this.



Yeah so basically that turbo is fucked in the A..... So yeah I did find this in my tube going to the intercooler




So yeah the turbos are coming off tomorrow, both of them and are going back to Tial to get rebuilt...

The weird thing is we don't know exactly those extra pieces are. One thing I know they are not part of is the turbos, but not sure wtf it could have come from.

I'll know more tomorrow hopefully

that thing in your intercooler was probably a busted clamp at one point. didi you install the turbos yourself? if not i would have the shop that installed them pay for your damage, nothing that could cause that much damage to the wheel could have EVER gotten past a filter unless you had a huge hole in the filter.

if a shop did it they could have figured well he has money anyways so lets get more business
