while driving yesterday up the high way, my car suddenly shuttered, and pooof, a big black cloud of smoke shot out behind me, then all seemed fine, but once taking of again i wasnt blowing smoke, wasnt shuttering, but on boost the turbo would spool up as usuall, then once about 2-3k rpm the turbo spool just goes nuts, its still a smooth ride but the sound is like the turbs is gonna spin itsself inside out..

now i have a faulty silicone joiner on the i/c piping, could this of just busted??

maybe a dead gasket,

or am i going to have to burry my turbo

cheers guys

cheers guys, now the hunt for it :P

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
