Blown Turbo

[Xit40]

Ok so my 14B is totally shot. You can hear the turbine rubbing on the housing or whatever when it boosts and it burns some oil. I think the center section is shot. It's not that big of a deal since I can just slap another one on that I have in my garage. My only question is would my turbo being blown cause it to burn small amounts of antifreeze as well as oil? I really hope so. The car doesn't blow any white smoke or anything like that and I just replaced the head gasket so that shouldn't be a problem. Let me know what you guys think.

It is possible. But it is uncommon.
You should pressure test your coolant system to see if you have a pinhole leak.

Sure it can pass oil and coolent into the exhaust housing to burn, When I blew out my last 60-1 My car look like that old video game "Spy hunter" driving home. I would be more concerned with sending metal into you engine, If you turbo set down the compressor wheel bouncing off the housing is sending shavings into your head and block.

Before you pull the turbo, warm the car up and do a compression test. Hate to see you Pull the booster get the new one on their, than find out your HG is shot.
