Changed my mind, going to bash on tomorrow early doors. Give myself a full day at it as the last few days its been 3/4 hours max at a time. Determined to get to the bottom of this but initial thoughts are the washers that I used were too weak/not the right size and they bent, letting the comp housing pop off.

Pics of the damage..



If you look closely you can see where the washer has bent up and allowed the comp housing to move



And you can see something not quite right here. This is the picture that fills me with the most dread, however when I first removed the comp housing to clock it I noticed it would move this much anyway so if the impeller's not been hit too hard it MAY be salvageable. What i'm concerned about though is the presence of oil, if it was just the housing away then there shouldn't have been any oil leaking, so personally I think the shaft's bent and damaged a seal or two.

Will find out tomorrow.

On a more positive note though..

WIN PIPE!





I miss that turbo chirp already

When it's working though it's going to be epic, completely different to the T2 and torquey enough even under 2krpm to light up the wheels in 3rd. Mental. Only had a wee run at about 25psi and was smokey on boost, wound the MBC out in an attempt not to kill it straight away...

Oops.
