Re: Blown turbo cause of bad motor? WTF Now?

To me it sounds like excessive shaft play caused the turbine wheel damage which should fall back on Slowboy's lap. I don't see how Craggar's installation theory can be true since you ran the car without issues with the Bastard installed. Do you have another turbo you can slap on over the weekend for a quick check to see how your car runs with a different turbo? If I were you I'd wait till Sunday night and see what kind of opinions people post here and then give Slowboy a call Monday morning. Craggar will probably continue to blame it on you since the last thing he is going to want to do is admit a SBR fuck up. If that happens, I would ask to speak directly to Mike Huml as I sure as hell would thing he will have the final call since he owns SBR.
