I was kinda fuzzy on what exactly happened in the first place so I pulled the first post. After reading that, I'd say something broke and took the turbo out. The "LOUD blowoff" sound you heard was probably something breaking and heading into the turbo. Also, I doubt the noise you heard when doing a boost leak test was air going past the oil ring on the turbo shaft. It was probably oil going past your rings in a cylinder that had some intake valves open.

I thought that I just lost a IC clamp or just caught a large boost leak, but my wife said I was starting to blow blue smoke? I got the car back home, and gave it a once over and couldnt see any clear boost leaks or couplers-clamps hanging off etc. I took the intake off to start a boost leak test and checked for shaft play and the damm 90 day old $1000 turbo is loose as a goose, with the shaft play is now wobbly as hell. I really did wonder about the integrity of this turbo from day one as whenever you'd run a boostleak test you could here air bubbling in the oil pan as it blew by the seals. I just spent most of Sat finally installing the PLXM300, and finally was ready for a nice tune, and now this crap! Anyway, that's the emotional vent, here's the real question: Has anyone else had any issues with Slowboy's Turbo's? and or service from "Crager?" Damm I really hope they do the righ thing here and at least repair it? Think they will they stand by their work?

Comments welcome....?
