Steel? In Turbo?

[R32SOM]

After noticing NO BOOST after leaving the workshop, tried advice given there- (when it seizes, as it did on the dyno- just....spin it with ure finger) which, surprisingly diddnt work..after getting it home, took the thing off, only to fing a big chunk of METAL in there, has been taken to turbo specialist for prognosis- exhaust housing now fuxored. now, im wondering if its possible to swap the t3 housing for the t25? i think on another turbo i have here. after 8 months being ****** round....u know, im at my wits ends.

yeah...well, now it looks like im up for a turbo rebuild, ffs, and they HEARD the metal banging round in there....i thought nothing of it, he said 'probably just engine noise'....wtf do i do now :! any idea where the metal could have come from?

probably just engine noise?

Im not familiar with turbo failure. *touch wood*

But time for a new mechanic.

i had a chunk of metal in my turbo on my r32gtst auto, i took the turbo out and a chunk off one of the blades was stuck in the turbo so i got a second hand one and rebuilt that

What else was done to the car while in the shop? Is it possible something dropped into the head? And then got spat out into the exhaust?

Turbo fails in workshops are normally related to missing screws/washers, and when they do die on the dyno, it sound like a bloody fire engine, It's screams and carry on, cause by unbalance air distribution around the compressor, There is no way you cannot mistaken a turbo compressor failure, unless you never heard one before.
