heya everyone ,
i got a new gt28 , only done 200miles at mosr , installed on a forged engine ,
it had that usual sucking whistle sound , then it suddenly developed a supercharger whine abruptly , and got laggier in the process aswell ,
its got a filter on , and all piping was clean ,
when the engine is shut down , i could actually hear fading grinding noise ,
im afraid bearings or one of the wheels/shaft has gone ?!

the noise after the engine is shut off is normal..since the turbo is still spinning (pretty fast too)

make sure the pipes didnt have anything left inside like paper used to block it when u rebuilt the engine..

you'll know when its dead tho as it wont make any boost and you'll hear a loud grinding noise when driving. also u'll feel loads of shaft play

did u install with the oil restrictor?

but i know of 2 gt28's relatively low mileage (both brand new) and both shat themselves out of the blue with no warnings (1 was mine and the other was a friend) Not trying to scare you or anything LOL but just wanted u to kno they're pretty weak

yeh mate i bought it new out the box , i heard of them shitting out new lol !
well i know it should make a shut down noise but this ones kidna rough ,
so far it reaches 1 bar quick and goes to 1.4 no problem , doesnt smoke ,
but sounds weird , n i couldnt find an oil restrictor in time !
ill take it off tomorow check the shaft/wheels and so..

okay ppl this is what happened , part of the weld on one of the runners was weak and developed a pin point hole , those metal fragments were sucked in ,
made their way to the turbine wheel and killed it , threw out the balance and destroyed the CHRA , 300 mile brand new turbo down the drain...

Go to the trader that sold you the manifold and explain the situation.
Hopefully they can be of some assistance to you.

Welds shouldnt just collapse.
