Turbo not boosting anymore :(, I hope i didnt blow anything Options

[eggman40]

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.

Im not entirely sure, how much am i looking at if i want to boost at 15psi reliably? which turbo should i hunt down, or what upgrade should i make to the turbo i have? Any help would be great. By the way, does anyone know of any places here in So cal that will rebuild a turbo?

[Bitter]

RRE may do that, if they dont then they know places that will.

Eggman, what flange is your turbo?

wow, you LOST the turbine?

[eggman40]

wow, you LOST the turbine?

Yup, dunno where its at now. I would expect this if i were boosting at 12 or higher, but this happened at stock boost! this is way too weird, anyone what could cause this?

[Bitter]

wow, it could have sheered off when the turbine shaft suddenly seized i suppose.

[eggman40]

anyone know what could cause sudden lack of oil or coolant? is there a cure for it? thanks again everyone for your help.

Too much backpressure?

[eggman40]

Too much backpressure?

No, i dont think backpressure's an issue i dont have any cats or resonators.


Is this turbo worth it? or can i get it at a better price?

or is this better? is this kit a direct bolt on or is there more than meets the eye?

if you got a used turbo, it should be rebuilt professionally before using it.

In the us ct20b was never produced.... so a rebuild would be pretty hard to get done.

Yes the ct20b is a direct bolt on.... imho... I dont think its worth that much money. I would tell you to get yours rebuilt. Sit on some money and get something decent like agt28rs.

[playr158]

since you blew your CT26 just get a CT27 from ATS racing....

[CheesyLobster]

man id say get a gt28r, gt28rs, or gt35r. I really loved the responce of my gt28r when i had it on, spooled for me at like 2000 rpm.

[burneeed]

gt28rs is perfect for our engine

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.

So is this thing repairable? 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.
