G9RGE Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi all this is the story, Left a mates house earlier let the turbo warm up as usual, met an rx7 at the lights and thought id show him a few things as my sup went into 2nd (auto) heard a metalic jingly sound as if a jubilee clip had come loose and was rattling around, pulled straight over into a nearby carpark. took the airfilter off and spun the shaft to find that there was loads of movement and the metallic sound was infact the propeller rubbing against the housing. I had the front housing off 2 weeks ago when i changed my hardpipes and there wasnt alot of movement then. Could i have cooked the bearing cause of a bit of crap in the oil blocking the feed at the turbo? Im currently sat at home waiting for the rac to come get me to go get the supe as i didnt wanna risk any damage. Il take the turbo off tommoz and know its gonna need new bearings, i will be using turbo dynamics any one had this done and know roughly what it will cost? Typical, was going to get it ready to sell next week, but hey at least the new buyer will get a new rebuilt turbo lol:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
