Ok ive read all the threads about driving with a blown turbo but im afraid i dont really have a choice in my current situation. I dont have the money to have my car towed and replace the turbo on my dd and i dont have access to a trailor. My turbo went out today about 10 miles from my house and the compressor wheel is destroyed. I switched my car over to SD and half ass calibrated my avcr 4 bar boost sensor as the mdp to where the car idled and is drivable without the maf. So i removed the intercooler piping where the air could pass straight to the intake without going through the turbo to prevent anything going into the intake but i figured it would be a bad idea to drive my car with the turbo contaminents going into my oil.. Is there a way to temporarally block off the oil to the turbo? I thought if i could cram something into the turbo to prevent it from spooling and open the wastegate it would prevent the turbo from breaking off all the way and sending more trash into my oil but contamination is still contamination. Would the trash sent into the oil by the turbo be small enough to pass through the oil pickup tube and oil filter? I know these are probably obvious questions to some of you but im not too familiar with turbo components so i dont really know what to expect to find in my oil. thanks for your advise.
