I was gona recomend a real oil guage too.
I notice a chunck of my compressor missing off of my factory turbo. Didnt think a whole lot about it cause there is no tellin when it came off. Now you got me worried too, may be pullin my intercooler soon too.
Those pics speak for themselves. I cant believe you made it home.

Other than no boost...ran like a champ. Eeked out 12 mpg with the trailer and all. Man I wish I still had the time and money to NOT have had to drive home.

If today is the worst day of your life,
then you can look forward to tommorrow being better!
Although you still seem to have a good spirit through all of that and that's what matters most. (I think) Anyway, Congrads and I voted for you to get the prize. I hope you get it.

Dog is healing...screws, plates, and pins. Bucks buck bucks...but he is guarnteed to heal fine...with no grow plate issues. He is in good spirits...but a little depressed at times since he has to be confined. Heck...he will run around with the cast on...jump...try to hunt unless he is tied up or crated.
Amazing...labs are so tough...no pain. When it broke...he looked confused for a second, and before I could get to him, tried to stand on it twice...then realized it was no good, tucked it up under him and ran off into the ditch on three legs...sniffing and looking for birds. Returned on command.
He was like...oh well...3 legs are enough...lets go back to business. Never a wince...even when it was temporary set WITHOUT sedation.
He will be ready by October 15th.

Don't worry Shane...
You are getting a new compressor wheel and bearings...it will be brand new. LOL.
There is no "measurable" wear at the scuff mark on the housing. I think it has just been "turned on a lathe" till perfectly round now!
