Re: Turbo Failure 200 1984

You should probably be more specific when you say "failed". If you're talking compressor seals, then the oil will eventually cause problems. If the bearings have gone bye bye, then eventually the turbine or compressor vanes could break off and go shooting around in your engine or exhaust. If that happens on the compressor side, you'll be looking at a lot more than $1000 in repairs.

Do your own research on this first, but I bet you could rig up your wastegate to dump most of not all of the exhaust around the turbo instead of through it. If you did that, you'd have no power, but it might stave off the turbo replacement.
