Turbos Gone Bad Uncensored
 

Here is what I pulled out of my car two days ago. Got to love these Cracker Jack turbos. Maybe these are the reason I have a 16 second time slip.
128K miles on these piles.

wow that looks nice :( ... now you don't have a spooled up 7 :(

oh... are you rebuilding or going for a new turbo(s)? sorry about your loss. but it looks like they got there fair share of boosting :).

I am doing a turbo shuffle, looking all over Socal for them. I have my eye on about four set so far.

You have no idea how many people wished their turbos lasted until 128k........

mine just died :( 65k on em.. forcing me to go single sooner than I was planning to

hmmm...hope I can last through 60k. I got 57,777 now.

Holy crap those are bad... But Flybye is right... Alot of people wish they had that many miles on their turbos...

mine has 123K miles on them and they are feeling good for the moment.

What's strang is that they would build boost fine, with a little screaming, but still fine. The only problems I had were low primary in 1st gear (slow spool up) and a 5psi transition no matter what gear I was in, but over all, I could still boost to 10-13 psi if i let it.
My time slip is what prompted me to pull them off. I knew I had an exhaust leak, and I wanted to see if it could be the problem. The turbos are my problem.
My best 60 footer was like 2.484
and second gear felt like I had an NA, but once I hit 3rd (providing I didn't miss it) the car took off like a rocket and would pull 97MPH. So, I know that the motor is strong (92K) and after I install my new/used turbos that I found, I may be able to pull the 13-14s I want.

I'm not sure I 'm going to keep this car much longer. Three years and $$$$ out my ass, I think I want either the WRX or the RX-8. not sure.. we'll see.
