ok so my turbo went out in a big way. vomiting oil out of every orifice..


could I have damaged the motor? i ran it just now and no noises form the head or bottom end but due to drop in oil pressure could I have killed my bearings?

is it worth throwing another turbo on if for this season or should I just pack it in and start a rebuild.

if you didnt run the engine dry of oil you should be fine, just clean all the oil out the IC

looks like i am just gonna get an early jump on my winter build


when all else fails, strap a bigger turbo on it!!!
