Default Re: Stop Turbo from turning?

Oi vey! Do not drive that thing with the turbine flopping around. We just spent the day chasing down parts and pieces of a turbo that went all the way through to the oil pan!! No sh#t! A piece fo shrapnel got caught under one intake valve, the valve popped off and shredded, bounced around on top of the piston and wrecked the head!!! As my friend Jon said, "It's fugly!". Dude, you're going to cannonball that engine....
