Catestrophic Forced Induction Failure

Catestrophic Forced Induction Failure
My turbo let loose last night when I was leaving to go to school. Tons of smoke and sounds like somebody threw a pocketfull of change in the motor. The only good from this is that it happened at home, not a hundred miles north at school. Came at a bad time, money is tight. If you or anyone you know has a spare hx35 that you need to get rid of cheap, let me know. Just needed to vent and complain a little.

I'm hoping that they didn't. Being at school all week, I won't have a chance to see the truck again until late Friday night or more likely Saturday afternoon after work. When idleing, the truck sounded fine, but I plan on pulling the intercooler and cleaning it out.

Got the truck back together today. Other than buring the rest of the oil out the exhaust, it runs pretty good. Still, when I get on the throttle real hard it blows a ton of gray smoke instead of black like it used to be. Hoping that might go away.
