When good turbos go bad...

[lord_verminaard at yahoo.com (Brendan Doyle)]

DOH!  I've always said the VNT is too small for the TDI, no doubt it's too small for the 1.9 IDI as well.  Well, only one of two things to do- bump up to a VNT-17 or even a VNT-20.  :D

It didn't wreck anything else, did it?

Well, the VNT-15 experiment is over.

It sounded cool.

It spooled at the speed of light.

It made Carrots get up and go quite handily.

It broke in half and grenaded itself (and dumped a few liters of oil
in the intake and exhaust) quite handily too...

Surge kills.

Damn, and I was really enjoying it too, right up until it went boom.
