Some thing quite hard had gone through that. 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..... :blink:

Thanks for the much needed advice :bum:

same thing happend to me, it cost me $200 for the comp wheel and my uncle fixed it for me, as long as the shaft/core hasnt been damaged you should get out of it pretty cheap :stupid:

same thing hapend to my turbo :gooff: . cost me about 1600 for a exchange unit. I carnt remember who I got it off but it came form meld eny way.

I know what the cause is. its the :pooh: house porly made piece of :pooh: castalloy crossover on top of the engine :gooff::gooff::gooff: .

when I was looking for what shaged my turbo I looked in the crossover and found a piece of the black heat paint had flaked off ( big as a 50cent piece ) and the top of a bubble in the casting had cracked off.

I had it bead blasted before puting it back on. id advise every one to get this done NOW thay are a ticking timebomb.

so the moral of the story is its cheaper to replace some turbos under warranty than it is to have a recall and if u are out of warranty ford dont give a rats :bum:

so id like to give a big thank you to the bean counter at ford and hope u f :stupid: ing sleep well at night.

How does one go about getting it bead blasted, I suppose you can just polish the outside as well.

What sort of cost is involved?

Cheers
