it's hard to say.

if you have just lost the rear wheel (0 boost) but the turbo core is OK, keep driving. Any damage is already done and it won't get worse.

but if the core is damaged - whirring/whisting noise, you can end up with shit in the oil from the turbo bearings which would damage/kill the motor if you keep driving.

If you aren't sure....you need to get it on a truck. rebuild is $5k+ so that is what you are risking

yeah they are steel wheeled garret 2860s -5 ball bearing

i dont understand how this happened its makes a whirling sound the (rear one) i need to get it on train on sun arv so should i not drive it till then ??

im so dissapointed

a question how much boost can these turbos run ? i was running 20 ....

intercooler pipes are not the issue its making a noise the rear turbo .

thats a dam good question

Any turbo can blow if there has been poor oil pressure or water flow @ some point etc.

I'd wouldnt be surprised if the core has blue burn marks
