Well my weekend ended with a blown FP 68HTA. It's not such a bad news after i feared that I blown my engine. The car start blowing a lot of blue smoke.

I really enjoy driving my DSMs on cool California nights and do occasional 25-27psi pulls on freeway. Last night it was one of those drives but ended with a smell of burned oil in cabin and cloud of blue smoke out of exhaust. This morning i took her apparts and here is what i found:










^ notice the scratches on housing ? Lots of shaft play in all directions.


I installed this turbo in May and put about 3-4k miles so far. Email was sent to FP support with pics from above. I will keep everyone posted with the progress.
