that sucks.....sorry to hear that



so you are going to rebuild it yourself?

I guess i'll see ya over there then....i'll be in dallas in mid-february to pull mine out and fix a seal that blew as well.



mine is the rear though and it sounds somewhat uniform with a spark plug out turning it over like you did, but i can see a peak in the boost gauge instead of 3 even pulses - i think mine is just cracked - it would still idle, but only getting 10in vacuum. I caught it pretty quick b/c it blew near my house and i didnt have to use the gas much to get it home.

I'll rebuild it myself if KDR doesn't warranty it, hopefully they will.

If it makes you feel better I blew my turbo on monday. I was at 6k rpms and @ 15lbs of boost when it went. Then I noticed my oil cooler line had a leak.

HEHE, sucks. I'm pulling the turbo off right now. Dave emailed me and said to pull the motor and he will tear it down right away. Thinks it was a stationary or rotor gear. Hopefully I didn't break it inside too badly.
