Did you check to see if the bottom of your box is broken or cracked at all. They are know for doing this

there's no doubt the turbo can be fixed, it just depends on how much damage might have derived from the chips finding their ways into the motor.

a good look at the turbo helps but a crankcase pressure test or a compression test will tell the story. does the truck run good? does it smoke from the tail pipe?

i have replaced dusted and damaged turbos on many trucks and had them run just fine, unless his is completly destroyed then odds are his engine will live to fight another day

the truck don't smoke at all and i think it still has a decent amout of power the boost doesn't really start coming on strong until like 2000 rpms... if i do go to ron the turbo guy he has 2 different turbo's one is stock the other has a banks compressor wheel and i think a 1.0 a/h anyone have and experience with the banks wheel?

the banks wheel i always though was our stock wheel, but the 1.0 housing will spool faster and have higher boost but isnt the best choice for the long run if you plan on doing a lot of mods to your truck, if you plan on sticking with stock injectors but play with chips and other do-dads then the 1.0 turbo would be a great choice
