Please enjoy my misfortune.

So I had a pretty fun time driving to Home Depot, ironically enough to buy an adapter fitting so I could once again pressure test my turbo/intercooler. The first picture is the best, it's how I drove home. The T bolt for the compressor V-band clamp was stripped and the when I built some boost it popped the housing loose. The housing is fine, the compressor wheel may need a touch up

You drove home with no cover on it?

Did it bust the a/c line too? Lucky it didn't break the shaft as well.

No, the AC line wasn't touched. Who knows if it'll hold refrigerant, I haven't had any in the system in years.

Wow.

Damn, that sucks.....

Who put that cover on? So tight that it would strip the t-bolt like that? Hercules?

You can call me Hercules if you like. The real problem is I've taken that thing apart a lot lately.

Well at least you put the filter on the hot side pipe. I would have been so pissed I wouldn't of bothered. Unless it was a long haul back to home.

I only had 5 miles to go, but I try not to get upset about this stuff. Time to upgrade

My truck actually didn't smoke at all on the he way home, I was quite lite on the throttle.

When I bought my turbo I asked Gillette Diesel in Utah what the tech spec was for that v-band clamp and its 120 inch lbs or 10 ft lbs... For some reason I always use a torque wrench and go to 12 ft lbs.

Lets just say none of the wheels on my truck will ever fall off:roflmao:

How did it sound with no cover?

Quiet actually. I didn't try to spool it hard.

I blew the cover off my s475 due to my own mistake. It was expensive but it made for a good excuse to upgrade.
