Guest Ian Steele Guests Posted 16/04/05 10:44 AM Share Posted 16/04/05 10:44 AM Well I was pushing it quite hard after loading the 10psi edit into the XR6T, there was slight preignition in 2nd changed into 3rd and bang!Anyone know how much it's going to cost me for a new Turbo? is anything else likely to be damaged?

Posted 16/04/05 10:51 AM Share Posted 16/04/05 10:51 AM Are u sure it is the turbo and not a pipe off some where.Our car has done 84000 km at over 10 psi for all but 5000 km's of that and driven hard never been a problem.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/#findComment-243005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the pipe that sits into the turbo and wriggle it hard with your hands.... if its lose, that's your problem.when you drive it now, does it sound like a vacuum sucking???/ if so, your pipes have blown off.

Guest Ian Steele Guests Posted 16/04/05 12:19 PM Share Posted 16/04/05 12:19 PM there's an awful lot of debree and oil on the road from a hose off, and it went with a loud bang, I suspect top end and turbo, we'll find out Monday I guess Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16988-turbo-failure/#findComment-243023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
