if it was my car and my turbo went out in that fashion. i would take my bumper cover off, unbolt the intercooler and literally shake it LOL. The fins and cooler style may have trapped or caught particles from going into the motor. This would be an excellent chance to make sure. I'd honestly just buy another intercooler. metal bits are not a laughing matter.

Yah I was afraid of this ... ordered an agp intercooler and new tial 50mm bov since the flange they use is different.
Going to have to rework some of the intercooler plumbing but not trying to destroy my motor too. If anyone needs a turbonetics dou 35 BOV I'll be listing it soon . Last edited by robbiegordon; 05-18-2021 at 06:06 PM. |

Note the smaller compressor wheel remnant, (second image) and the housing image blown out at the inlet mouth and at the weld L (third image)... The shaft broke, the wheel bounced around for a moment shattering the inlet mouth, and then smoked out the discharge port shattering the weld L and we found it in the mouth of the intercooler three or so feet away from the turbo... We removed all of the cold side plumbing and the intercooler and spray/blow cleaned the piping with carb cleaner and air, and shook the hell out of the intercooler... We also had to remove the Turbowerx oil scavenge pump and pulled some ball bearings from there... lmao, did this all at the track, trying to continue the weekend... We blew up the first one on Friday evening in 5th gear at 200+ and had a replacement built and overnighted... Got it Saturday morning, cut the housing and welded the weld L on clocked to the right position... Very easy shakedown pass Saturday evening and first hard pass Sunday morning, at redline in first gear the new turbo blew up... Precision replaced the second one at no cost... I had run the first one for over a year... I was thrilled with the service and support...

Mine wasn't quite as catastrophic, but it Sounds like I made the right call just replacing it all. Lol glad to here about precision being so great. Especially after such a weak experience with turbonetics

Do you guys run any oil restrictor on the pte 76/75 ? I know they say not to generally. I have a melling high volume oil pump, if that makes any difference... I think I have .045 in there now , that I was running on my turbonetics.... otherwise . Just waiting on the intercooler.

If it's ball bearing you likely need a restrictor.

That's what people keep telling me too. Just need to figure out the size . It is a ball bearing, and guess has its own restrictor but the turbonetics did and I ended up using an inline as well.. I found some information from precision so I'm going to try and run it without an additional restrictor i guess , per precision's reccomendation. And dial it down if it smokes.

Thank you.
I threw on the 4 an line with no restrictor, so now only running with the factory installed restrictor. So far no smoke at idle. Still waiting on cold side parts to be able to drive it though. Time will tell. |

No restrictor on my Huron Speed kit for two years. I have Melling too and no issues. I have good idle oil pressure and turbo seems happy.

I noticed while connecting my intercooler piping that there is a tiny amount of rotational type play of the compressor housing even after confirming all the bolts are tight.
Is it normal for the compressor housing to have a tiny amount or any play ? Video . https://youtu.be/kSC33WXUo5A It's a little hard to see but im pressing up and down on the snout of the compressor housing and it has slight wiggle up and down between the compressor housing backplate and the chra. Going to call pte tomorrow when they open *update* spoke with precision , not suppose to be loose there , on the gen2 to the mounting hardware seems to be internal.

i have a turbonetics stage 2...and seem to get smoke at idle...never used to when i first installed the original turbo (then it failed). its a new turbo and a rebuilt engine. interested in how to put a restrictor on and what size...i am assuming if you restrict too much you starve the turbo of oil and bad things happen.
