Well I was supposed to dyno this tuesday, but thats totally out the window now.

Saturday I re-tourqed my headstuds, and did the competition valve adjustment … All was going great.

Pulled my intake to adjust the wastgate on my charger, and my turbo took a shit on me. Shaft has a GOOD 10 thous. of play in and out, maybe even more. Specs are no more than 2 thous.

Charger is comming off tomorrow, and being sent back to Industrial to find out what/why the hell this happened on a brand new charger, with less than 1,000 easy miles of it.

Sucks to be me!! :crying:

Joe  
No wear near too much boost. That charger never saw anything over 50 psi … Snd dropped off to 45 psi shortly after. That is not an “over boosted” silver bullet …

Bad thrust bearing in the turbo  
Brady took care of it for me, and is having it overnighted back to me. He said it was never starved of any oil supply, or anything like that. It was just a bad bearing. He did say that Im very lucky to catch it in time, another 100 miles or so, or another couple WOT spools, and it would of let go
