Looks like someone "barked" the turbo really hard and broke the shaft. By the time you machine all of the messed up housings and buy a new shaft, compressor wheel, turbine wheel, bearings & seals, you could buy a new turbo.


Sorry to hear about the turbo failure, good luck on the future buildup.
 
duallyspeed, not really racing per say. just kinda goofin off and passin a friend and when the turbo lit it went pop.

bigblue, no turbo bark.

and skynyrd i was thinkin more of a door stop.
 
i had a somewhat similar turbo failure, got on the throttle and the tubo went pop WHOOSH....

sent the nut and part of the shaft into my airfilter, completely destroyed the compressor wheel. good thing hx35's are cheap
 
no it was an hx55 with an hx 35 or 40 compressor housing i think. i guess in all reality i cant be too upset it blew.. its a few years old and started its life on a stout runnin local guys 2.8 truck and then he changed his set up and it set on a shelf for a bit then my buddy bought it and ran it for 2 years as a 2.6 charger. i probably shouldnt have been drivin the truck around but i had to get a trans to my buddy in ohio and he was gonna help me back the timing down and turn the pump down since i have never messed with a 12v before. lesson learned i guess. time for an s471 i guess
