Might be educational for us turbo minded folks to have someone knowledgeable look at your turbo

Pictures of the blown turbo are at http://kgarden.com/cozy/chap29.htm#flight3

I'd appreciate any input you get.

Paul, you may want to see this turbo. Same like yours and mine.
Bulent (Buly)

And the one Francois uses.

What was the EGT Bulent when the turbo failed?

BTW Francois is interested in your electric oil pump.

BTW Bulent tell John I am very very pleased that his rubber-bushing-in-the-firewall motor
mount is working well and he added the necessary tubes to stabilize the local
bending loads. I am greatly relived and I take back all the bad things I said about
him :) 

I have never heard of a turbo failing that way. I.E. the turbine separating from the shaft.
I wonder what the history is of that turbo. Then again I have zero experience with 
turbos. IMHO most of the failed turbo's I have seen due to excess heat have melted blades.
Francois has many hours on the dyno using that turbo and rates his engine at 230 HP.
Obviously with a bit of boost.
