Nope, wont go past 0 on the boost gauge, and a strainge whirlling noise coming from the engine, to dark and too tired to check it out though, could be somthing minor, but I’m not that lucky. ---

The turbine wheels are ceramic and are common to falling off if the turbos are oversped(more boost than they are meant to make reliably) At lleast now you know your car wasn’t babied, and somebody drove it like it was supposed to be. Do you have a cat? If so that’s where your turbine wheels will be. ---

im hoping its just one of the lines anywhere that fell off or broke ect. Do you know when they broke or what you were doing, if you went off the gas imidiatly then you propably have ceramic in your engine. if you were accelerating you can hope that the cermic went with the exhuast. if it is the turbos get yourself a pair of n1’s from japan for 100000 yen. ---

I was definatly on the gas, would both go at the same time? it is a TT right? Could i drive it somewhere to get it checked out?? Also, could I just remove them and drive w/o turbos??? befor you ask why…its cause I was going to rebuild the engine this winter anyways, so might as well just buy a BIG turbo and put it in, in the winter when I replace the internals As a side note, soneone on GTRC has a set of Nismo RS581 turbines for $1500, any good? ---

If your removing the turbos, you might as pull the engine at the same time, and rebuild it and drive it later. A turbo engine without turbos is a sick dog, as you now know. ---

Well, no one really just “fixes” a turbo. But they do work on plenty of turbo cars. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-moment-of-silence/138823.md?page=2)
