Yeah, Thanks Peter, That's what I was thinking, so if the seal barring-failed and started the shaft wobbling, then the edges of the tubine would look just like this.

Also I KNOW I didn't leave any damm parts just laying in the turbine side, I treated that turbo like GOLD! <cause it was!>

I ran it for 10 different times without ANY kind of weird sounds or issues from this turbo, THEN it all let go without ANY kind of warning?

Either I did loose a valve or another peice of shit flew through, or this SBR Turbo that had a bad seal from the begining, just lost it's berring and wobbled and ground off the wheel.

Guess I need to do a leak down first and if it's good, come to the reality that SBR probably just screwed me on this whole deal.

Any other thoughts?


TIA.........
