Help - Car tried to paint itself black...........

[Dan!]

In complete fairness to Garrett, Dan... That usually happens when the compressor SMACKS the side of the casing, the inertia undoes the reverse threaded nut... Seen that happen a few times before...

I bet you the shaft is still snapped... Typical pissy GT15 tbh...

Make sure the entire intake system is clear of oil, otherwise first time it boosts up, blows ALL the oil in the intake into a lovely fine mist and the engine runs away seriously... Seen that happen before, just ask Darren!

Ah right, well the car was boosting 26psi, but was only cruising at 70mph/4psi when it blew, still seems odd?

And also, its a T2, not GT15

Also, bit confuzzled about that? The oil escaped out of the seal into the hotside, so surely the intake system is no oilyer than before the turbo blow? :think: Although we were going to clean the majority of the FMIC pipes out anyway as the oil breather oil is fairly thick in there and the oil breather is still connected (we'l disconnet it tomorrow when putting it all back together...)

Should be fine

Thanks, fingers crossed!
