Breif puff from tailpipe, or off turbocharger?

Well have the comp/LD diags run and get those numbers, popping the DP and inlets off will show something towards CHRA condition. Pressure testing the cooling system for leak would be a good idea as well. If you need me to look at the spool just give me a shout.

Typical rebuild doesn’t take me but mere hours to diss/clean/inspect/assemble/balance, as long as the turbocharger doesn’t require major components(IE: turbine or comp wheel, etc). Usually just takes me a couple days to free up the time to actually do it, especially this time of year.

All these scoobs popping up now. I need to free up some time to actually get my box of scoob parts put back together on the car and get the bish running :ponder
