Bad turbo pulled

[BLACK92TY]

My Ty has been sitting for the past week or so becuase the turbo had gone bad.

Lastnight my dad and myself pulled the turbo off because I have a factory TD0-6 on the way (that I actually just got today). After we pulled off the turbo I noticed that the nutt that sits on top of the internal blades was completely off and the blades were just jagged and chewed. Boy was that a sight to see.

The only question I have now is do I need to drain the oil and oil lines for metal shavings. Or am I good? I think we'll do that anyways just to be on the safe side.

Hopefully I can post some pics...

unless your shaft got messed up also, your oil should be fine. never hurts to change it though.

if you still have the stock turbo and don't want it, i'll pay shipping to get it to me

may want to change it, but do it after your finished installing, just in case you get any junk in the return line or theres any junk in the new turbo itself.

try to figure out where the nut went. are you talking about the intake or exhaust side of the turbo?

The wierd part is, the nut was just loosely sitting on top of the blades. Crazy. Intake or exhaust side?

I would consider yourself very lucky. You may want to go buy some lottery tickets. If the nut didn't get chew up by the compressor wheel it as worst case could have gone into the engine to do more damage.

Engine re& re take a lot more time plus the added expense. Oh I feel a headache comming on!!!

I could either sell you another turbo or repair the turbo you have.
