I have bad luck
 
So i thought i finally "finished" the hmt kit on my 85 mr2 which i thought was pretty decent
-ebay manifold
-garrett 60 trim t3
-440 injecters
-a2w intercooler
-megasquirt

well i took him out for the first time last night and everything was going great, got about 3-4 good sold 10psi pulls out of the car then it happened the worst whine i have ever heard, at this point i'm thinking boost leak so i turn around and head back to the shop and about half way there the wine turns in to a horrable scraping noise, well the turbo is toast compressor is pretty F'd up but i gess ---- happens.

O yea same day i get in a pretty big fight with the guy i rent the shop from and get evicted so yesterday was a great day to be me lol

When i pull the turbo i'll get some carnage pics

Ah, that blows. Sorry to hear.

Were you running a good tune when all this happened?

Thats sucks so bad. I bet the pictures have to show som serious carnage. Hope it's the turbo and not the engine. Good luck.

Was there any blue smoke out the tail pipe before or after the noise?
