When you get the turbo apart, take a good look at that housing. My gut says that the housing isn't damaged. I think it's a lot harder than the wheel is. I've got some pics of an exhaust wheel that melted and clearly had to hit the housing, but the housing looks ok.
Hopefully you'll find some good news tomorrow.

i was just thinking about what might have caused my turbo to grenaded. tadd at elite said that he thinks i might have over heated the turbo. according to my post (tomorrow it will be pre) turbo pyro, it has never been over 1050*. so i dont know.
on the other hand, after i installed the new turbine, i guted and pluged the pedistal. i forgot to re install the connector into the pedestial. so my question is would not installing the connector somehow cause the turbo not to get oil?

First, 1050 post turbo can definately fry that thing. I've taken measurements of both at the same time since I have two pyros. I noticed that under heavy acceleration, the pre turbo temps could hit 1300 degrees and the post turbo temps weren't quite to 900 degrees. I have verified this several times. So, you could have been looking at over 1500 degrees pre turbo.
If you left the connector unplugged, it should not have caused the turbo to starve for oil. If the connector was plugged, I could see it happening. When the EBPV closes, the oil is directed to run the actuator, and not as much lubricates the turbo. But, it's not a huge issue, because when the EBPV is closed the turbo doesn't make any boost. If you had the EBPV gutted, left the pedistal intact, and left the connector plugged in, the turbo could easily be starved for oil and be ruined quickly. I think you took the correct steps though.
Edit: read this thread for the full pre vs post turbo reading. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...ost-turbo.html

I have had my pedistal gutted and not plugged in for over three years. I do not think that was your issue. I am gonna have to go with the post turbo pyro as well. I to have both pre and post. My numbers are similar to jt's

today i drilled and taped the drivers exhaust manifold for the pyro. i hope it works correctly. when i drilled it i covered the drills and tap with axle grease and drilled very slow. i dont have a vacume so i cant vacume out any excess chips. this made me very nervious. i dont want to ruin my new turbo! what do you guys think?

If you still are nervous, just rev the engine a few times while you are in the driveway. After that, there will be absolutely nothing in the exhaust that can cause problems.
oh, by the way, i picked up my "new" turbo today from elite. it looks great, thanks again for hooking me up with him.
i bolted the turbo on tonight but had to stop cause of the wife. good thing too because i would stay up all night!
