ok im going down the road and ihear a loud CRUNCH CRUNCH and other grinding, and i pull over and pull my intake to see the rubber spacer coupling on the inlet of my t25 (the stock piece that the intake pipe goes over to fill the empty space) had came off the inlet housing and went through my turbo, got ground all up and is in my intercooler somewhere (i hope not in my valves) and my blades are totally screwed up and my car sounds like a supercharger and has bored away the inside of my compressor housing...

i got the car home though :)

so time to upgrade im guessing? what are the chances ive warped a valve? i think if the rubber was small enough to get through the i/c, that it would melt when it got past the TB... am i right???
 
sorry to hear that...... how did the coupling get loose anyhow? my guess would be that there could be pieces in the head somewhere, if they were chopped up small enough, but even if they werent, where else would they go? I think your right, time for an upgrade.
