I was jumping on the freeway in 2nd gear with stock boost, suddenly the car sputtered and would no longer boost. still not fuel cut because there was no engine light. The car now blows a lot of smoke from the tail pipe. Blown turbo?, blown turbo seal? Rings? dunno someone help me

well the bearings are seized, the shaft may be shot as well. i doubt there'd be any housing damage. so you still have a good housing and good compressor/turbine. where you go from here depends what you want to do with the car.

Just in case i cant source a turbo i dont think that turbo city place will rebuild it, but call and ask them anyways. pretty much all you have is a good housing. the rest would need to be replaced. -------------------- |
