When good turbos go bad! (pics)

This is what happens when your Precision turbo decides it doesn't like your car anymore.

Oh, that would be part of the turbo's shaft and the nut on the front! Wonderful!

Get this...the car was driven last year for about a month, then it's been out for a little over a month this year. It's about a month outside of the '1 year warranty'

I sent it in and they covered it under warranty. The only complaint I have is that they didn't send me back the exhaust side which was ceramic temp coated, didn't send back the oil fitting in the center section for my oil feed line, and now I have to take the new cover off...sand it down...and re-polish the whole thing again. On the bright side I got their brand new surge cover with the bullet style holes drilled in for free!
