Yesterday I blew my turbo, could this be a result of me cutting off my muffler and resinator for a total start pipe?
Also could use some pointers on how to replace a factory turbo.

It could be from not letting your turbo cool off before you shut it down. All the ctd,s ive, had two before these had straight pipe and i put over a 100k on each and didnt have a turbo problem

 

How'd you blow it?

What EGT and Boost were you seeing?

It's not the straight pipe, I've put 40K on my truck straight piped. I know of two people with 200K and both are straight piped, with Factory turbos.

I don't know what my EGT's are but, other than the straight pipe and a power puck i'm 100% stock.

 

Did you possibly blow or have a intercooler boot come loose and over spin the turbo?

Is there good flow on the oil supply and return to the turbo?

 

How "Blown" is Blown? Sure ya didn't pop off an intercooler boot? Stock hy and hx 35 turbos are tough to blow. at one time I ran DD3's with my blue chip and barked the daylights out of it (Stock HY35) day after day before my PDR 40 and for all I know it's on someones truck now happy as can be.

 

Well the trubo is making a realy bad noise and I have oil shooting out my tail pipe, with a a LARGE cloud of white smoke. :'( PS my boots are fine,,,, I found out today that the turbo is still under warranty ;D

 

Oh yeah she is Kaputski :'( bearings/bushings are toasted. Ebay has a Brand new HX35 that for the last time I saw was 300.00 and has lil over a day to go. to keep as a spare in such said event. Good deal on warrantee tho 8)

Atleast it's not a 6.0L PowerStroke,, those conditions are considered normal.

(Not trying to bash the Ford, but that's all I can recall after spending two hours over at TheDieselStop.com)
