chrsyler can suck my *****
driving my roommate to the train this morning the car (03 PT cruiser 2.4t) felt a bit sluggish and was making a couple odd noises. drop her off and head back home and there is absolutely no power what so ever. then i notice i can't hear the turbo making it sweet sweet music. first i thought maybe the a charge pipe was broken or the WG was stuck open. so i get home and start looking for the problem, chrage pipes, WG, exhaust, vac lines, everything checked out ok. decided to look in the intake box to see if i had a blockage of some sort, none, so i pull off the entire intake boot and look inside the turbo. what do i find?? not the compressor wheel nut 
needless to say i am a bit pissed off about this. a rebuilt(hopefully it can be) turbo is in my future, the comp nut banged up the wheel and housing a bit and the shaft play is like nothing i have ever seen.
the compressor wheel nut managed to make it through the housing but the intercooler stopped the engine from sucking it in.
the car is out of warranty but i am going to try and get chrysler to cover it. at 113k or any mileage the turbo shouldnt be falling apart like that especially since the car is bone stock and an automatic. maybe some shaft play and a bit of coking but not coming apart while i am driving.

Re: chrsyler can suck my *****
its a 16g turbo, but it spins backwards. its the same unit on the srt.
i was suprized at how wuick it was, 220hp doesnt seem like much for a car this big but it works. 15.3-15.5 1/4 mile easy

Re: chrsyler can suck my *****
i was unable to speak with the service manager but found out a new turbo is only $700, much less than i though. and that is with the mani so i dont have to take it apart.
$400 rebuild/upgrade or $700 for a new stocker
