Blown Turbo
 

If it's not one thing it's another :updown:

Was on a drive upstate 3 hours away from home base and started getting a winding noise sounded like my turbo intercooler pipe blew off, got to my boy's house and lucky I had my tools and he had some jacks and stands so we decided to take on the challenge and take the turbo off ourselves in his garage:lol: , I have never done this before its my first time at this tried to get over which didn't work and had to pull out the radiator :lol: :lol: , ended up pretty good and fast I couldn't belive how easy it was.

Called AMS and Eric hooked me up!! Sent out the new 850R next day air {thumbup} Big Props to AMS for always helping me out and quick to get the parts that I need to get on the road.

So hopefully tomorrow ,I'll get the turbo and get to installing asap, I wanna get my header powder coated black because it's doesn't look pretty anymore so If anyone knows anyone in the tri-state it will be appreicated.

Will be updating when the new turbo comes in excuse the iphone pics.

sucks u blew it but nothing like a nice new turbo!

True that!

850R baby can't wait to see those results, I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Good luck on the new turbo!!!

Did you find out why the previous turbo went bad?? Check your oil/water lines for any signs of clogging while everything's off!!

Checked all oil/water lines everything seems to be working ok, maybe it's the 44psi+ daily boost ,turbo just had enough ;)

how did u blow it!!?? dang that sucks ant nutten like a new one tho :)
its always good to take the radiator out so wen u pull the turbo u dont ding up the radiator!

Have no idea It just went the shaft and some fins were damaged.

OMG bro, you have the worst luck man... I don't know if I want you near my car cuz you might give it some bad ju ju :lol: I'm kidding...

Every time I see something go wrong with your car I feel it because I know how it is trying to get something right and if it isn't one thing, it's another. Mad props for you in staying in the game and doing your thing! Can't wait to see what this new turbo is going to do for you! {thumbup}

Thanks man, Yea the evo is a headacke if not one thing its another it's wearing me down little by little.

you might want to ceramic coat the header instead of powder coat- I haven't seen any coatings that will withstand the exhaust temp....

Still trying to decide which kind of coating, I should go with so many to choose from, would perfer a black coating.

hehe..yah think :lol:

Swaintech coating. They do good work.

what kind of angle is the oil feed on? or is it straight up/down and the camera angle is throwing it off?

Shark call Manny at Top level there is a shop in NY. I got my RNR mani ceramic coated black from them....came out nice..
