Pulled the head and this is the result. Cyl #4 had a ton of rubber debris in it. Turned out that the turbo was only working at 10-15%. Had the turbo rebuilt. Plugged it all back together and cranked her over. The extra 85% forced air from the turbo blew the deteriorating rubber inside the intercooler pipes right through in the chamber. Customer is lucky. Everything is still good aside from the h gasket. ... good.. bad..

I had a friend who sucked one up in his Eagle Talon and it destroyed his turbo. Re: Check your intercooler pipes !

My dad and I brought home an old Case 830 tractor to fix up a lil bit and use. Before we loaded it up and took it home, we stuffed rags in the intake b/c the oil breather was missing. Few days later were playing with it, fire it up couple seconds running, we see blue shop rags that previously were in the intake shoot up and out of the muffler <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> that was pretty comical --keRby Ad Inexplorta Re: Check your intercooler pipes !

Anyone know where you can get them cause I was just gonna get a muffler shop to bend me some pipe.
