And you have many miles towing that 5er around the county, Swamps sticks, Tony's tunes, yadda yadda yadda... I agree, something else amiss.

Edit: Lower drive pressure just can't be bad. Since my hi-flow outlet I can't set an SES for over boosht but it still runs great.

Yeah The Turbo Housing Didn't Have Any Damage Which Makes Me Think It Must Have Just Shattered Into A Couple Little Pieces In Order To Come Out. I Didn't See Any Real Major Damage At All To The Exhaust, I Even Went Back To Where It Happened To See If I Could Find Any Piece Or Part And Nothing. I Am In Va Beach And I Was Going To Twisted Diesel, They Are Great. They Stayed Late That Saturday Night To Get It Done For Me.

Could something have flown in the turbo from the exhaust manifoles? A nut that was droped in there and decided to exit out through the up-pipes? This is wierd.

I think that one of the internet browsers does that for some reason as a default setting. I have used both IE and Mozilla (which I am using as I type this) and have not had that happen, but I have seen a few guys post and it does it.

Parkland, there are waaay too many of us running mildly moded trucks with great success for you to start worrying about it, especially with all that extra money you are going to be making.

I'm actually excited about my job -

working on a drilling rig - and sleeping at home.

Paying hotels and meal bills for every day at work eats away on the profits pretty quickly.

I bet that thing had to be pretty damn hot. stock turbos can't handle heat like some aftermarket ones can.

I thought I read once that if you have caps lock on when typing in the reply box that it only capitalizes the first letter of each word. I could be wrong on that recollection though. LOL

Hard to believe there was no damage to the exhaust system. You saying you have straight pipes and no muffler? Amazingly lucky... What did the repair shop say?
