Re: My Talon

Haha, well the feedline fitting that screws into the center section came loose. I'm sure because the turbo had very little oil flow and almost no pressure as I was making a pull everything got hot, the shaft seized/broke, and the turbine wheel went crazy. It also tore up the BEP housing I have...

So I will see about getting the turbo rebuilt, if it's possible. It that works, I'll try my best to clean up the turbine housing with a die grinder and hope it works half-assed.

This isn't anything about the turbo being unreliable. I'd get a Holset again.

I might look into a PTE as a cheaper alternative IF I cannot repair this turbo.
