So I was on my way to Wendy's today when the car started running like ****. So I pressed down on the gas a bit to clear it up. When I started to get into boost I heard a howling noise coming from the front of the car. I knew exactly what it was so I get home and pull the intake boot off the turbo compressor to find three of the the blades are missing. I try to turn the shaft but am faced with much resistance.
WHY ME!!!!!!!
Thank god for Hellions 1 year no hassle warranty cause I gets a new one!! But I have to wait 3 weeks.

The good thing you are getting a new turbo and it did not affect anythign else like your motor crapping out.

glad it's gonna get replaced, but what's gonna prevent
it from happening again in a year or so

Hopefully stuck in the intercooler.

OMG Justin, it seems you can never get a break! While I'm inclined to praise a turbos' benefits over S/C-ing, it seems in these S197's, they're are much more trouble prone. Hope your new one gets here fast!

You never get a break! At least something good is coming out of this.

I am tempted to sell the kit and put some big fat cams in her with a 200 shot and call it a day.

Nah, I'd give the turbo one more shot, see how long it holds up this time. Make sure your oiling system is functioning properly too. If it blows again, then I'd say time to think about going another route (centri).
