sooo the sx god is a bit angry with me at the moment, Got the car back clutch is nice(apparently have to run it in a bit), and then suddenly no boost ;/ I drive straight home and on the way I hear weird sounds coming from turbo area. So all and all it would seem that my turbo is fcuked. I'll strip it tomorrow and see what can be done/ salvaged.

Have to postpone this run bud sorry :(

Not sure what the reason is yet, I'm checking all the oil and water lines today to make sure they are not blocked somewhere... Seems the bearings had enough so I suspect wear and tear or lack of oil??? Not sure how many Kms the previous owner did with the turbo or how well it was looked after...
