Default Busted turbo.

If it's not one thing its another, first it was my arms and now the turbine.
The turbo is the one from the Lindsey 363 rwph package. I hear that it's actually a To4e or something like that. Correct? Do you guys think a rebuild is possible?

looks like you swallowed something by the damage on the leading edge of the
blades. call dave he might be able to get it rebuilt for you.

Is it oil I see around the hose? Looks pretty much to me. Maybee a crank case breather is next in the upgrade list? (maybee you should check your leakdown numbers if theres way to much oil there)

And whats up with the hose, at the bottom left corner?? Is the hose damaged? A part of the hose gone?

I took the picture at an angle, and yes that is a puddle of oil.
Am going to leave the car alone for a while, too upset to look at her right now.
