Miss_Aly Donating Members 615 Member For: 20y 9m 1d Gender: Female Posted 09/04/07 02:14 AM Share Posted 09/04/07 02:14 AM Taking off at the traffic lights and giving it a little squirt, I noticed this odd hissing sound, much like a super charger (very loud). There was no abnormal effects to the driving of the car as far as power, transmission changes etc. It was just the loud sound. Almost like a pipe had come off some where. By speaking to a few people about the problem, I was told "maybe it's your transmission"? Maybe it's the turbo? or could even be a loose exhaust? This morning my hubby "Brian" first checked the turbo by taking the intake pipe off and examining the blades. He then came in & told me to have a look at this. This is what we foundThe flat top of the blade looks abnormal. My car is just out of warranty Now we are looking out for a new turbo fan or kit. Where? How Much?Cheers, Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The broken off bits go somewhere and that's into your intercooler and hopefully for you not any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by your sig though I don't think that it really matters that your car was just out of warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roller bearing turbos have very little float unlike plain bearing/ bush turbos.. Looks like there is something major up with that turbo. Its all fixable... new comp wheels... housings etc.. just depends on your budget and also intended further use... May be an opportunity to upgrade.. Lets look on the bright side.. :-) Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the standard ford crossover? I've seen the black paint flake off them a couple of times and do similar damage. A new comp wheel and housing shouldn't cost much more than about $250. Might as well do bearing and get it all balanced at the same time. Your probably up for around a grand all up. You'll need to remove the entire intake system and clean it all out. Don't forget to do the pipe work between the filter and the turbo. Alot of debris gets thrown back up there and its often over looked when the system is cleaned and can cause the same damage all over again. Make sure you haven't got any holes in you air filter. Also check your air box for sand. When i had the factory ford airbox it would fill up with and amazing amount of sand and dead bugs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
