Just don't put your foot down driving it to the tuner... Or wire the waste gate open if you want a temp solution

It looks like the rod snapped ?

Oh dear! That's some carnage! What were you doing when it wen boom?

Very nice! Who was the tuner ?

Sorry that didn't really answer your question, just my thoughts

A turbo shouldn't wear out, especially in 50k As long as it has clean air, and clean oil it should keep going on and on

I have been asking myself the exact questions. Hopefully we get a clear answer

That will cost a fortune, best finding a local in shepperton, or hire a car trailer

Probably very few

Battery is my guess

I used it in my au for 100,000k's no issues at all... As long as it's wet and slippery :-P

Yes that is term "mixed fleet" sometimes seen on oil bottles

I believe any oil is good enough, as long as it's the right grade. (Viscosity) for your intended working environment... I'm a diesel mechanic, and the latest truck engine technology (Volvo is my experience) is overhead cam and has four roller rockers per cylinder, has to have full synthetic oil with drain intervals up to 60,000k's So in my eyes synthetic oil is ok, (and before somebody jumps in and says diesel oil is different, current euro5 diesel oil is perfectly fine for petrol engines, and all euro5 diesel trucks have large $15000 catalytic converters which are very sensitive to the incorrect oils, ie. anything before euro5 And I have also seen many cam lobe failures on Volvo engines, and it always came back to bad case hardening, some warranty even paying for cams with over 400,000ks And back to the topic, I have a 08 turbo, and I'm freaking out about this, im nervous to remove my rocker cover

This seams to contradict all other info on this forum

Ulx110 is full mineral oil

Looks the goods! Good price aswell Something else will just start breaking though :-(

I think my stock FG turbo is stupid fast! For a standard street car

Exhaust manifold gasket leaks, can sound like a tick

Most likely will need a tune, cause it will be breathing a lot better Ring your tuner is the best thing to do

Thanks fiftyone, I'll give em a call

Looks like the pipe under the thermostat to me...

Oh alrighty, thanks for that :-)

Oh dear!!! Did the roller hardening fail or the cam hardening? Prob to hard to tell, pretty hardcore would have been tapping its ass off

But it is the right stuff ? I assumed this is what ford sell you, and factory fill it with... If so then the $7 saving is still worth it in my books If it is not then I can understand buying Lifeguard6, I want to put the correct oil in.

I know this topic has been covered plenty of times, I have found by searching these forums that the ford fluid is called Mercon SP I have found this on eBay 12 litres delivered to Aus for around $200 Just want to double check before ordering Thanks http://www.ebay.com/itm/281162579745
