[s-cars] Blown Turbo

[TODD KRAMER]

Cody,

I did the same to my RS2 turbo.  It was the cold side; the nut came loose and the compressor wheel spun into the housing, shearing the turbine shaft.  There was an impressive whine/whir before I laid down one hella battlefield smoke screen.

The exhaust took three weeks to finally quit smoking ... continued to flush the entire pipe with water and solvent ... not an easy task.  My emissions have been borderline every since.  Thankfully the shrapnel did not damage the down-pipe as you described.  If I had to do it again, I would remove the entire exhaust and clean it, piece by piece.

..at least it can result in an upgraded turbo.
