Ouch.

 

thats from running boost too low

 

 

Doh

 

RIP

 

What'd you do??

 

ran only someofit

 

Probably left over from it running dry on the way to laguna last year.

o well.

 

so....now what?

 

Presumably, turn the boost up.

 

WE WILL REBUILD

 

 

Gonna pull the motor and see the extent of the damage. If no hard parts are damaged then i should be able to rebuild it this season. If it needs new pistons or something stupid it's gonna sit for a bit

 

forgot how sexy this turbo is. Port 1 is oily af. Hopefully getting the turbo rebuilt. Maybe pulling the motor soonish.

 

Is there shavings in the turbo that you can see?

 

No idea. Hope not. It's post fulter.

 

I'm guessing #1 cracked ring lands or busted piston/rings. In for gory details.

 

Leakdown test was like 3-4% or something, didn't get around to a compression test.

Motor also made 20psi of boost like this

Hopefully shipping turbo out for some work this week. Also going to weld a new brace to the turbine housing to support the turbo on the manifold better.

 

What work does the turbo need?

SE Power Systems offered to service and check my turbo last fall with all the smoking issues that I had. I'm following through with it so I have a fresh start with a new motor.
