Turbo blew and I’m replacing that plus my DMF, oil pump hex shaft, mounts, timing service and the upgraded oil cooler all in one go.
I’ve got my car in pieces right now about to pull the engine and I eventually pulled the elbow connecting the turbo to the intercooler at the front. Found metal pieces and a pool of oil in the bottom of the intercooler. Also part of a big O-Ring.
I turned the car off as soon as I heard a “pop” come from the engine bay. Engine ran for maybe 2 seconds after the fact before I turned it off. I’m worried metal got into the engine from the turbo going.
What are the odds of metal bits harming the engine? What would be the result if so. Is a tear-down warranted? I was hoping I wouldn’t have to crack open the engine… Also what could possibly be the rubber o-ring I found?
With so many CKRA owners having blown turbos- I doubt each victim had to replace an engine or tear apart their intakes to clean them of metal. Just hoping for the best and preparing for the worst I suppose. I don’t want to get the car in running condition after all this just to shred the new turbo or rio the pistons and valves up.
