Turbo exploded at the Glen

Wow.. I see a lot of misinformation and false stuff in this thread.. Lets see here..
Stuff in your IC will not go into your turbo, it will go into your engine (even worse), then if it makes it far enough it may make it into the hot side of the turbo along with maybe more engine pieces to accompany it if it makes it that far.
How much for that lindsay IC?
Surge does not happen at WOT, ever.. It happens when the throttle is slammed SHUT after boosting. The BOV is supposed to let this excess boost escape around the compressor so it doesnt try to go backwards through the compressor which can be damaging to it..
There is no flippin way that exhaust gasses are blowing the compressor wheels into the air filter. When the comp wheels come off there like a propellers and pull themselves in that direction like an airplane. Instead of sucking air in, they suck themselves out.
Excessive axial play so they can't rebuild it? OK, you notice how the end of the turbine shaft and end nuts are still in the middle of the comp wheels? That means the turbine wheel and shaft are trash and that is one of the most expensive parts of a turbo, like $300+ for that part new and the old german ones are better than the new repop ones anyway.
Also notice the destroyed comp housing and backplates, possibly destroyed bearing housings as well due to that axial play but possibly not.
On the bright side the turbine housing probably survived ok though so you can reuse that, but excessive axial play no..
Off with the comp wheel comes the comp side thrust washer that rides on the thrust bearing and is responsible for your axial play, so axial play controllers are no longer existent period when that wheel comes off and the turbine is free to go toward the turbine housing and munch..
A "rebuildable core" turbo means all of its parts are good and it just needs bearings and/or piston rings, seals, the little stuff. New compressor wheels, comp housings, backplates, bearing housings, turbine wheels and shafts, heat shields, turbine housings are not parts that are to be replaced when simply rebuilding a turbo..
A boost gauge will fluctuate differently depending on if its just a boost gauge or a boost/vac gauge setup.. On throttle drop after boost one slams vac and the other spikes boost (surge), depends on which side of the TB its "gauging" I guess you could say..
Seriously how much for that dirty/fouled lindsay IC? PM me..
