This is a picture of my T34 .



As you can see its not in a very good state.

Last time I properly used the car was back in November 2011 before I took it off the road for winter. The car was started regularly and warmed up up it hasnt moved from then. In July I sent my engine loom to Mark at Bespoke for him to copy and make me a new one (Fiesta Rs with L6 management) and only got round to fitting this yesterday.

I gave the engine a thorough inspection before I was going to start it and noticed a hole in my airfilter (sponge 'mushroom' type). Took this off and found the compressor wheel blades totally knacked. Took the turbo off and found bits of compressor wheel in the housing and in the airfilter.

Now I didn't start the car yesterday but do remember that when I used the car last year there was a whistling noise coming from the engine but never really got round to inspecting this as the Fiesta was taken off the road.

Could I of damaged the engine?
Could bits of compressor wheel got through the intercooler core?
Can I purchase a new compressor wheel and fit this myself?
Its a hybrid TT T34. Should I send them it for reconditioning?

What should I do next.

Any help and suggestions appreciated.
