hi guys, just finished lifting the engine today and finally got round to seeing my damaged turbo, and was wonder does anyone know what has caused this kind of damage to the compressor? it was burning a bit of oil and coolant for maybe 200 miles.

 

first picture is the busted one, the second is a good turbo.

 

thanks

dave

bit hard to see from that photo tbh !

 

are the impellor blades still there ?

i've added a picture of a good turbo so you can compare the blades.

the blades have become crushed and the distance between the nut and blades has increase significatly

is the nut tight and is the shaft still in one piece ?

nuts is still on the there nice and tight, the shaft is in one piece, not a lot of free play than normal. its weird the blades have just flattened

then something went through there. Check in your pipes and intercooler !

will do bud, i've got of cleaning up to do tomorrow there is oil in every pipe, every intercooler and the plemin

you did a good job then LOL
