Title: HELP ME! I THINK MY TURBO IS SHOT TO HELL!
Post by: 90TGP on June 18, 2002, 08:37:29 PM
Ok, tonight I was at a light. I accelerated normally till I got boost. Then all hell happened. My turbo sounds like there is no oil going to it. Metal spinning against metal. I know it's the turbo because it only happens when I go fast enough to make boost.

What the hell happened? I'm thinking the oil line is stopped up somehow. Did I just kill my turbo?

no oil to the turbo is a bad bad thing, the shaft uses a oil "bearing".
