Keep an eye on your rubber hoses

Jesse (parkside) was working on a customers 2.5 TD

The turbo was only working at 10-15%.

Had the turbo rebuilt. (ADP in Port Kells, BC = 'the' professionals who truely rebuild turbo's, not just clean and then replace the seals and call it a rebuild)

Plugged it all back together and cranked her over.

Bad noise.

He pulled the head and this is the result.

Cyl #4 had a ton of rubber debris in it.

The extra 85% forced air from the rebuilt (now properly working) turbo blew the deteriorating rubber from inside the intercooler pipes/oil pipes right through in the chamber.

Customer is lucky. Everything is still good.
