Blew an intercooler boot...oil?

08Monster · Jun 9, 2015

Billet 366 with less than 5k miles on it, blew the boot off the turbo at 44psi, went to go put it on and found this:

Turbo seals gone already? Really?

Rarely. Maybe once or so every two weeks on an accidental hard chop. Not hard barks.

Just got my first revision today, haven't put it on there yet. I was wondering that too. Sh*t turbo from the start causing all my issues?

Is that reversion based of my race tune? if so that should be a awesome tune for you to be based off of but I would get the turbo looked at ASAP.

Cody wants to get my trans tuning down first before I start messing with fueling and what not. The first revision is purely trans changes the way I understand it.

She's got shaft play. Never good.

How much play in and out? That's what really matters. Since a journal bearing turbo rides on a film of oil, all of them will have some side to side play.

I don't feel any play in and out. I've always been told a turbo shouldn't have any shaft play that you can feel or see.

Billet S366 from Morgan.

Journal bearing. It will have shaft play. The shaft doesn't actually ride on the bearing, so there will always be play. Has it contacted the housing while running? That's the important part. I've saw brand new turbos that you could make contact the housing just sitting there.

Can confirm - side to side / up and down is typical and will be more prominent as the turbo is drained of fluid.

In and out is the bad play.

It's extremely difficult to get through a conversation on the phone with someone telling them to play with their shaft by (trying) to move it in and out to see if their bearings are going out... giggles all around.

This^ LOL LOL

I've been in contact with the OP on what's going on and we're working out a solution. Tune revisions are in process as well. While I don't think this is a tuning issue considering Ethan did report that drive pressure has been near 1:1 since the charger swap and he hasn't reported excessive surging or barking issues (Similar experience I had once). Should have you up and running here soon Ethan :thumbsup:
