Thought I'd bump this thread since I couldn't find anything rb25 specific, and I suppose my question doesn't differ much anyway. Short story is my turbo went, compression came back as 125psi on each cylinder, dry test (r32 rb25de-t) Now I'm in the process of getting the new turbo put in and uprated injectors. Turbo was a slide hi flow
Now the compressor wheel did lunch itself, the mechanic found light metal shavings behind the pod, and some small bits near the IM. Now since my compression test came back ok, is there anything else to watch out for, or is it probable that the engine is ok if the compression tests consistent? Only idled the car once or twice after the turbo went, and tried to boost it twice 30 secs or so after the turbo went. Pretty much figured the turbo was stuffed when it didn't boost.
Getting the FMIC and all the intercooler piping flushed out as a matter of course. Also new engine oil and filter, since the turbo was leaking oil when I shut it off.
