so i finally go the secondary turbo going(vacuum hoses hooked up to wrong spots).and im out for a night time cruise to get food. i give her some gas and the secondary turbo kicks on. then woosh!. no boost just a whosshing and slight grinding noise. i limp her home and figure ill look in the morning. i take off some intake piping and there is a little oil and a good amount of metal shavings. i assume they are from the turbo... does it sound like its dead or where should i check... i looked at all the intake pipe couplers and they are all intact and secured tightly. ... is it new turbo time?

 

Only to confirm they are toast is to have a look at them... I would sugguest taking them out completely...

i was contemplating getting either the bnr stage 3 or going single anyways . i might as well start now. thanks

 

Personally I would go BNR's but I prefer the twins, and all their "lovable" issues...

any smoke?

 

i didnt see any smoke but i wasnt looking . i dont want to drive it again because of all the metal shavings in the intake piping.
