On level seven on the adrenaline pushing about 30 psi boost and about 10on the pyro the turbo started making noise i let off shoots to 0 psi and got nothing and makes all kinda of racket pretty sure i blew the old HX 35

 

[Boosted99.5]

ive seen spikes of over 52psi on mine and regularly sees 40-42psi. stock turbo no probs here.

 

[chevy791979]

i have pegged my 60 psi gauge once or twice and still works good. only for a few more days though. new is in route

 

[Smokinrebel]

i have an extreamly hard time believing that the charger blew because of 30 psi...probably snapped shaft cuz let out to quick and woofed charger

 

[SootBeltcher]

i run mine 35psi all day long with no problems

 

[DRFTR]

it all depends on the hot shut downs and the quality of oil that you run.

 

[SootKing]

i agree. unless u have just been barkin it all day long at 35 i dont think it should have blown

:agree2: That's what you get when you have a fully closed wastegate and you dump the throttle at WOT under hard acceleration.:thud:
All the built up pressure has to go somewhere, and it can't go out through the wastegate like it would normally.

anything over 30-35 psi the drive pressures will be through the roof....and it's out of it's MAP and all's your doing is creating heat

That one big factor of it... :thud:

Here is a write up on turbo inspections...

Was probably weak before you ever blocked the gate. BTW tried calling you back several times yesterday. Hollar if you need me. :thumbsup

 

[wannabcummin]

Yea gus i was at work had bad service were i was at ill be getting ahold of you shortly and after taking it apart i realized i blew the bearings out on the exhaust wheel or at least i think.

 

[farmboysdiesel]

Just let me know. :beer

So how do I not let out of it quick with a 5 Speed? I have been thinking about a blowoff valve, but do I really need one?

How does the intake charge get to the exhaust side to go through the wastegate in the first place without going through the engine?

I think you are thinking of a blow of valve... the wastegate just limits compressor/turbine speed by limiting drive pressure to the turbo by bypassing the turbine.

5 speeds aren't as bad as autos at scratching the charger when you let off....not for sure why but i would have to guess because you can shove the clutch in....anyone else?

 

[Burgundy Bomber]

Wonder what my drive pressure was when I hit almost 60psi.... hmm, I just had my boost elbow cranked down way too far, then hit the TST and boost was through the roof!!! It barked a lot more before the upgrade though, thats for sure, dunno why.

Saw pics of the turbo - it's definitely messed up. Turbine wheel broke right off the shaft.
