Dramier Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Took the intake pipe off the turbo and found pieces of ceramic impeller all busted up... So waiting for Monday for the shop to get a turbo back on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 DAMN!!! That sux. How much boost did you run? Ceramic blade turbo's are only safe up to 14-15 MAX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramier Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Didn't run any boost at all. Block came over that way apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramier Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 We're pretty sure the turbo was busted by slag from the welding job on the aftermarket BOV. Apparently the fools didn't clean the piping out or do it cleanly and got slag inside the piping. -sigh- What can ya do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 hmmm might want to check compression if thats the case. you more then likely had soe stuff go thru the engine. Look at the turbine wheel if it has nicks on it then something did go thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramier Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Everything's fine.. she's running absolutely amazing.. I'm gonna work on some pictures and video today. Oh man, I can't stress enough how much better I like the RB25's performance over the VG30... oh man... no lag, no bogging..... and unbelievable powerband pool... Yeah, I'm addicted to the RB now.
