Blown turbos
#10
Had many, many fail on me...

T2 had a jubilee go through it, nothing to do with me, previous owner must have left it in the inlet pipe.
K14 then failed with horrific whine noises
GT15 then failed after changing in about 5 miles on the day before the MOT test. Cue a quick turbo change before the MOT at 1pm!
GT2052v failed big style, could shake hands with it and then the oil seal failed and I had a full 6500rpm runaway on oil in a tiny village.
Another GT2052v failed as I pulled away from traffic lights, buried my foot into the shag pile and the compressor housing backplate failed and munched itself. Right ad I was getting past a cyclist... I think I received the wanker sign...
Another GT2052v failed as a Ford KA tried to undertake me on a roundabout... I buried it and again, exploded due to cracking the compressor backplate, probably received wanker sign for that too - boost hose too long and pressing down on the cartridge is the problem...

Quite a collection...
