Not a tech query, just something I thought I would share...

I was messing around with my bleed valve today, and everything was going fine (apart from having what seems to be a 195 chip WITH a 15 psi boost limit...grrr) when WHOMP!!



White smoke everywhere, no boost.



Limped home and removed the turbo. Oil dripping everywhere from the exhaust housing...

Stripped down the turbo to find...



The exhaust turbine has ripped off the impellor shaft!!!! Lots of burnt oil / grit around the turbine etc.

Buggeration!

Guess I need another turbo now
