The tuner had never seen anything like it it was wedged into the cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bearing has not seized but I think the bearings just failed. Anyways decided to upgrade the turbo to a larger GTX35r with the .7AR front cover. I also ported the rear housing, fitted a 38mm swing valve and a garrett 11.8PSI actuator as well. "We" decided go bigger but I had to do all the work and fit it lol. Anyways here are the pics of the broken turbo and the pics of the new turbo I straped to the motor. Was really easy to setup and fit! I may put a kit together and start selling them!!!
