my friends car was all messed, a 1g, so the turbo was taken off, the head was removed etc etc...well we look inside his d/p and lo and behold, theres the turbine wheel of his old turbo stuck in his downpipe...so here are a couple photos...just thought a turbine wheel in a downpipe was a little wild...

what the....

 

[herostar]

is that from the turbo on the car, or was that from an older turbo which had been replaced?

A guy on this board, 95GSXRacer, had his turbine wheel come out the exhaust at the racetrack this year, it was sweet.

The guy running the line actually picked it up and handed it to him, hahahaha.

Holy Shit.

 

[dcskater82]

that wheel was from a previous turbo...no wonder his car wouldnt go over 9 or so PSi huh? haha

 

[DSMJim]

thats a minor restriction in the exhaust...

 

[RACER-X]

oh shit, i wonder what kind of sound that made when it happened. OUCH!

 

[RipperXX]

....umm....yea I hope that does not happen to me.

 

[RACER-X]

come to think of it... how does that happen?

 

[Defiant]

and, how do you find it? Where would you even think to look for it? Bizarre.

Did he just over look the fact that the old turbo was missing the turbine?! How long did it take him to figure this out?

 

[WhipmastaFlex]

wouldn't that improve exhaust flow? kinda like that tornado waste of $x.xx for your intake?

 

[dcskater82]

no because a mechanic pulled a different wheel out of his o2 housing previously...
