2001 jetta auto .218000 miles...owned for 15years or so.now .rc1 or 2 (can't remember?).. stock otherwise sat for several months ( have newer TDI's now..)..started it up every now and then.revved it up in park ..turbo sounded fine just before this...took it out for a quick drive (first drive for a long time) (2 miles)..gunned it to about 4000 rpm's..and BOOM!! rear view mirror showed parts flying out on the road..plumes of smoke..was about 1/4 mile form my shop...put on lift ..turbo blown and split in half...oil everywhere..intake hose off turbo (not broken, just clean off).ran vcds and only shows maf error. p0101 (code wasn't there before)just wondering. what would cause it to blow..from sitting so long? or just bad luck..anything to look for that caused this? Thanx! gonna have to get another one..do a egr delete probably with new turbo install..poor car.. just 2 days before Hurricane Michael dropped a large branch on the quarter panel..damn..appreciate any thoughts..always just loved this car!..was getting her ready to drive around again and all this happened
