[MaXXeH]

from looking at the turbo it seems like it was starved of oil that is why it went pop.

is there away of checking oil is getting pumped around OK?  as i dont wanna put this new turbo on.

check the oil pickup pipe in the sump if its blocked then you need to unblock it if the damage aint already done the pickup pipe gettin blocked cost me a new engine it was on a 400 mile treck so didnt really know till it was to late hope this helps you

As above, check your oil pick up pipe

i think i'am starting to hear my turbo going sounds like it is metal on metal will check this tomorrow is it just pulling out the pipe from the sump to see if it is blocked not taking all of the pipe out from the turbo as it looks abit cramped and hard to get too

If you are worried about pipes being blocked replace them don't chance the charger and always replace them if you change the turbo

is the oil feed ok? As per what Neil said, spend a bit of time and money making sure the oil flow is healthy, it will be cheaper in the long run
