acidbath Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 So yeah, back a few months [more like probably 2] I installed a turbo on my car. Worked crappy, then raised the boost to 12lbs, ran fine. I come to find out, the turbo is blown. What a great investment. :roll: Now, I'm on the hunt to find another turbo, much like mine except NEW. I don't know how, why this turbo would blow since I haven't really went crazy on my car. I didn't overboost, abuse the turbo or even speed up to the point where the turbo would blow.. but it did. That being said, what do you guys recommend? Perhaps a Big 16G? Keep in mind, I have stock injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acidbath Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hm, why would my oil levels be low..? I don't know, but I'd much rather get a turbo that fits man.. this is weird. I won't have it thoroughly checked until I get a replacement turbo anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yeah black smoke = rich. Blue smoke is more a blown turbo seal. You have fuel issues my man 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
