Ouch, that sucks. I'd still run that fucker until it blows. ;)

How did the filter look? Any holes in it?

No holes in the Filter at all, nearly brand new

Any battle scars on the compressor housing? Maybe it's been scraping, broke a piece of the turbone off and it floated around there doing that damage :-\

No shaft play at all, no marks on compressor housing, this ---- is gay but i only took it off for this reason ;)

My new T3/4 ;D ;D

I bet that you had some stuff in your intake when you put the turbo on and turbo sucked it in only that one time.

stainless filters are crap; When dirt comes to one of them they escort it right into your intake; they dont put up any kind of fight.

btw; sell me your old turbo or at least the turbine housing :)

wtf is a stainless filter? a filter made out of a strainer?
