Default Broken Turbo
Took the car to be mapped today having replaced the fuel pump. All was going well until the turbo let go! Broken bearing, smoke etc

Big thanks to CJ who helped me out with advice, food & phone Cheers mate

Yep, it was the precision 5831 billet turbo on Wiley's old car.

I've contected Wiley as the turbo was only fitted new in August, so I may be able to get it rebuilt under warranty. CJ suggested various different scenarios involving different turbos, but As I'm a newbie to all this I'll admit it didn't mean much to me. He also suggested cleaning the pipework and intercooler to catch any aluminium flakes. The engine started to move it off the rollers and once more outside, but I'm reluctant to turn it on again incase it does more damage.

So, I'll be starting a 'what turbo should I get' thread soon

I hope its ok fella and all the bits spat out the back, As CJ suggests best to take inter cooler pipes off and give everything a really good look over and clean, any little bits getting into the engine would not be good!, if it shows signs that bits have gone in then cross that bridge when you come to it..

As to what turbo.. Billet GT35r

Nice to meet you at SRR today.
Hope you get this sorted quickly, and get Simon to work his magic on it.
It'll be worth it in the end!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone and good to meet you too oiler. Your mapping went well with great results!

Not been a great month for me Let's hope things improve. I've heard back from Wiley and he bought the turbo in Jan 2013 but it came from the States. Not sure about the returns policy, but I'm certain it'll be long winded, costly and time consuming to send back!

Mate,
Hope there's no engine damage.
Simon is sharp though and would have detected it in time.

I have an AFP TD05 16g With only 6k available.

Coops.
