which will go first?

my buddy's oil pump went out on his turbo bug, and he blew up the motor from lack of oil. you think his turbo would be fucked because of this? is there anything in particular i should check for when checking out the turbo?

check for in and out shaft play thats the worst kinda shaft play. also id spray break clean throught the senter section and see if any engine bearing material made its way into the turbo if so clean it out before you use it on your engine

Not to thread jack....but at the local track here there is a 10 second turbo bug who always races the 10 second turbo karmen ghia. His licence plate reads "nofatchx". I will have to post the video, it's great!
Ok, back to your normally scheduled topic...
