Note to community about turbo's...

It didn't get sucked in, it just collapsed.

No, he's not running an intercooler... yet :twisted:

Thanks. I'll continue to be correct in that case :up:

j/k Pete. ;)

So... if some cheap rubber hose got sucked into the compressor side of the turbo, I'm guessing the compressor wheel chopped it up into a million pieces, which were then pumped in the rest of the air-intake tubing, throttle body, intake manifold, all 6 cylinders, out the exhaust into the manifold, spun around in the turbine section of the turbo, then out the whole exhaust system. Are you using any type of intercooler? I hope not. That'd just be another fucked up part added to the list of things raped by rubber.
Yikes, sounds like fun to clean up.

Either that or the compressor wheel broke before choppin up the rubber hose causing it to damage the compressor housing, sending bits of pieces to the intake manifold giving it a nice extrude hone, and maybe some honing to the cilinder walls ?

Well it just collapsed from all the suckage.....but since it didnt do it ALL the time, it lead me to believe it was another problem. The simplest things are usually ro blame

also, don't use 30# injectors on an M20 ;)

j/k, you got the fuel problem sorted out with the SMT6 right?

i personally think the car is running amazing for never using anything other than a butt dyno.
