Spinnin ain't winnin!

Well boost lab called me, looks like it's cheaper for me to buy a new turbo then have that one fixed so wend ahead and ordered a new sc6076e will be here by Friday!

Why? Mine's still spinning strong after almost 5 years of abuse, salty winters, and a couple leaky oil lines

I know a few people who've had stories like Mitch, gotten them rebuilt and blown them up the exact same way again. I'm also partial to Holsets I will admit.

I guess they changed the design which is why it would cost so much for me to have mine fixed, they would have to order the parts from pte and pte would have to make them so it would probably take a couple weeks to actually get the thing here. Oh well ill get her running again with this one.

Mitch didn't you mention a rod knock? Did that not end up being the case?

**Galant306m** · 10-24-2012, 09:36 AM

Idk was just going to replace my bearings think one of my caps loosened up or wasn't torqued right

I think you could pull this all off and have the car here by Friday for a dyno session. ;)

If one of the rod caps loosened up i hop it didn't round out the big end.

**Galant306m** · 10-24-2012, 11:14 AM

the car only ran for a couple seconds after it started knocking, everything happened right before i pulled her into the garage. after that the car has never ran again.

Well drop the pan before you go any further then. If the bearing started falling apart then you already have shaving in your oil pan then the system is contaminated. I wasn't able to read through all 59 pages but i would pull the engine out if that was the case. On a stock motor i wouldn't care or a motor that has some miles i wouldn't care either. But it sounds like you have a fresh build.

Yea i have it all pulled apart already lol the bottom end got pulled apart right away, didnt look to bad at all little to no wear on the rod bearings.

Im thinking most of it went to the turbo the rest just got cought in the filter, I pulled all my cam caps off to just to make sure those where ok. Going to buy some really cheap oil and just dump it through with no pan on.

Another little update on the turbo situation, looks like PTE doest offer the 6076 anymore so boost lab upgraded me to the 6176 and because of their mistake im getting a billet upgrade, polished housing and ceramic coated hot side minus the difference for the standard 6176. I also ordered a new set of rod bearings (ACL race bearings) and a oil filter sandwich adapter.
