I was driving around today in the typhoon and the turbo started to whine louder than normal. When i got home i went to take the intake off and noticed the plastic piece on the crossover tube that connects to the orange hose broke. I guess a piece fell into the turbo because a good amount of the blades are bent. What should i do now?... is there a replacement blade for it, or do i have to get a new turbo? Also, is there anyone selling the crossover tube?

Re: turbo blade problem
I wanted to keep the turbo stock for now. I havent had the car on the road for longer than 2 days since i bough it so i dont want to upgrade untill everything is running 100%. Is there anywhere in jersey that i could get the blade rebuilt or could i buy a replacement blade for it?

Re: turbo blade problem
Yet another plastic crossover pipe kills a stock turbo. Been awhile since there has been a confirmed kill. I expect more as these trucks continue to age and the plastic becomes more brittle with each heat cycle that it goes through. I got rid on mine long ago for this reason...
When you lose a blade on your turbo, that turbo is done. So be prepared to spend a couple of hundred dollars (or more) to replace it. The stock turbo spins at 130,00 to 140,000 RPM's (2,166 to 2,333 times a second) at full boost. Obviously it is very critical that anything that spins that fast be balanced or it will self destruct in short order. Do the smart thing and park the truck until you get it fixed.

Re: turbo blade problem
Depends on what you want to do with the truck.. The rpm stage 1 is an upgrade both on the turbo and on the exhuast side but isn't to wild of an increase.
You can have the stock turbo rebuilt but it'll end up costing close to what the stage one is.. another idea or option to concider and i've heard nothing but good results/reviews would be

You could always look for a used stocker in the for sale section or bother me for my stock turbo I have sitting that came from my truck when I upgraded.

I think this will be hard to beat. $600 for an upgraded turbo

this is your best option. lowest price and easiest to fix the issue you have. your going to spend 2 or 3 times what I get to install something you prob dont have all you need to make it work right. if you have a stock or near stock truck my turbo is your best option.
