Stage 3 SRT-4 that ate it’s exhaust wheel.
Stock or aftermarket turbo?
whose stage 3 is that??? and do they still have the stock turbo and mani???
how did that happen???
^^^^its the stage three…after market mopar(still coverd under warrenty)
what is the blue thing on the commpressor side?
bov / bypass valve, depending on what u wanna call it
hybrid needs a “gallery of carnage” … a display case next to the door, where the one rack is, put each piece in there with a short description of how the owner managed to cause the destruction
its not a bov nick…it is a bypass valve, im pretty sure it works slightly differant :gotme: though

It’s rumored that the porting done to the Stage 3 manifold/housing combo isn’t too great, and it weakens the inside of the runners causing flakes to come loose and go into the turbine wheel, which gives you the above result.
The interesting fact is this happened at the shop where he got his alignment done, as when he got the car back he brought it here saying it wasn’t making boost at all anymore.
I second that…

this can be displayed with a tv in the corner, playing numerous short clips of owners crying , bashing their heads on the counter, as they sign the work order with a long list of parts for their rather new car that has VERY new block windows
and oh yea, name the area the “I did all the work myself museum of carnage”
then right next to it, a small display case, with like a broken socket and a cracked wrench, name that “carnage cause by hybrid”
yea that doesnt sound a little fishy…it was more like “yo bob, lets take this thing out to see how good the alignment is…uh oh…why isnt it making boost anymore, o well, this kid knows the guys at the hybrid place, im sure that lee guy can weld him sumthin up” :lol:
was the stage 3 under warrenty, and if it was did he get it replaced or did he have to buy a new center section?

The car probably was under warranty, as there is only like 15-17k miles on it, but the owner just bought a new center section, and looks like he is probably going to have to get a replacement manifold/exhaust housing piece as well.
the m motor had to be sent in for the core charge
but i think they have the 350z engine, and i think somone mentioned it would become a coffee table, lol
i know it had to be sent for a core…
stupid cores…but they could have yanked out teh tin foil pistons
well i know of a stock turbo and mani setup on neons.org right now for 265$…if that helps at all
why doesnt he just go thru the warrenty?
We are trying to find a suitable option to replace the stock type manifold/housing, as the more we read about it, it is prone to cracking everywhere.
Not sure why he didn’t go thru warranty. The car is far from stock elsewhere, and it gets the piss beaten out of it every second of its life.
