What could cause a "SIEZED" Turbo!?
*WHOOPS seized typo if a mod could fix that'd be cool*
Well I have a 03 Evo with a Evo9 turbo swap I had some horrible screeching/whining noises like a tornado siren all RPM based. I thought the worse that the t-case was done for. I wasn't paying attention to anything else or beating the car took it home it sat for 3 weeks took it out to look at it today. Drove it to friends house real down on power but thinking its the t-case eating the power. Then doing testing realized if I rolled at 40mph put it into neutral and rev the noise would still happen. Then he pointed out my rich A/F and lack of boost/turbo noise on the way back to his house the noise just stopped and I coulnd't build any boost. I had no BOV noise, no turbo spool noise, nothing total dog. Got it back put it on the lift let it cool I take off the intake to the turbo and try to spin it by hand nothing, start the car nothing, rev it best we could w/o maf Nothing. The turbo is just straight seized/locked.
What could cause this? Im looking for another Evo9 turbo to replace it with but I dont want the new "used" turbo to have the same faith what should I look at, I run full syn oil is less then 2k miles old not dirty, proper level etc.
