210k miles later, the CR140 turbo has bit the dust. After a 120 mile trip, a loud buzz came through the cabin and became increasingly audible as the accelerator was depressed, then the flashing glow plug, then limp mode. Code was P0299, last time this happened it was the VNT actuator. After limping to the driveway, dropping the belly pan, and looking at the turbo's hoses, nothing popped out of place or cracked. The VNT actuator held vacuum, so that wasn't the culprit. Starting the engine up again, a very visible vibration on the turbo was noticed, along with that loud buzzing noise.
Which means a CR170 will go in along with a stage 3 tune.
Getting 100k miles out of a stage 2 wasn't bad.
