The fact that the VNT15 is regular journal bearing Garrett turbo with an adjustable exhaust housing and Garrett won’t sell a rebuild for it like they do for EVERY OTHER single god damn Garrett turbo EVER. WTFBBQ. Assuming the wheel and shaft are ok, these are completely rebuild able if Garrett would let the parts out of the door. fucking dicks.

i feel like when the intake was clogged up it was just taking life off it… just a chip and nozzles are pushing it but not to the tune of blowing the turbo in 2k of my driving…

it was at about 24-26psi but setlling down to 22ish… alot becaue i haven’t adjusted the actuator but whatever… but it should be around 20~

anyways im just gonna buy a new center section ( everything minus the vanes and manifold/hotside) for 250… if you wanna know pm me and i’ll tell you where im getting it from…

hopefully i hear back tommorrow because i want to fix it as fast as possible

as far as damage goes, the shaft probably snapped in half… actually almost postive, i’ll check it in a bit since the car is home and in my garage now.
