Comp turbo failure less than a mile

Jinxx · 08-06-2017, 03:11 PM

I loosen the downpipe and rotated it off the bottom of the floor late last night ....took car out this morning ran about 150 miles normal driving ..boost set at 7 lbs ..everything runs/sounds fine. You can hear the turbo spool/howl spools up smooth and spools down smooth...boost comes on very fast and strong and you can hear the turbo spool down after shutting car off ..not loud just a smooth spool down for a good 20 seconds so I would assume the blades isn't hitting or dragging anything.

Im sure you're fine. It would most likely not be running smoothly into boost if your turbo looked like mine. These little Bluetooth inspection camera/scopes come in handy instead of taking stuff apart....i think i got mine for 50-60 bucks. https://goo.gl/images/itKjdU

I got one of these from Amazon. 20 bucks. It's a bit of a hassle to get it to work with a computer. Once you figure it out. It works great.
