w00t!

 

Time to change your sig! Nice job and how bout the pro's and cons compared to your radix?

 

My truck kicked me square in the nuts yesterday!


A little while after I got back I went into town to grab something to eat. I got on it a little bit on the way.It felt great. The turbo pulls completely different than the Radix did. Went into the resturaunt and ate. Then went out to the HO and fired her up. I started going down the road and it wouldnt make boost. I stopped checked all of the intercooler pipes and checked to see if the bov was stuck open. All was well, until I pulled off the elbow and air filter to find the impeller wheel on the compressor had eaten down into the compressor housing and was stuck. I dont know what caused it. It drove great while we were tuning it, and on the four hour trip back from San Antonio. I got on it several times coming back with no problems, so who knows WTF happened.

I am pulling it off tonight so I can send it back to Precision to get fixed.

Here are a couple of pics of the carnage.

 

Thats bull ****!! Thats the kind of **** that happens to me. Sorry about your bad luck man. Hopefully the streak of bad luck is comming to an end.

 

Broken Shaft???

 

If anyone is interested in the hot parts and original intercooler and charge pipes that came in the kit shoot me a pm we may be able to work something out.

 

DAMN thats crazy yo! sorry to hear...

 

isnt there supposed to be a nut on the shaft there?

 

The nut is there. I dont have a clue as to why it did it. I dont know if the housing got hot and expanded into the impeller or what.

 

I pulled the turbo tonight so I can send it back to precision tomorrow, and I think I found the reason for the turbo taking a crap. After I got it out I pulled the oil restrictor for the feed line. I couldn't see through it and tryed to blow through it in the direction the oil flows. I couldnt do either. Aparently I got trash from some where that clogged the restrictor. I sprayed some carb cleaner on it and blew it out with some compressed air and it is clear now. I just dont know how it took over 300 miles for it to happen. Hopefully Precision doesnt rake me across the coals to get it fixed, and it doesnt take a month to get it back. I cant wait to get it back together and head out to the track to see what she will do.
