1997 Aero Automatic. Put a brand new(Remanufactured from SAAB) turbo in last month. Went for about 2 weeks, and started sounding like a party favor...whiiiiiinnneee.. Terrible.. SO, sure enough, the fins were all mashed, and the play in the shaft was great.. BACK and FORTH, NOT Side to side.. Ruled out as a defective remanufactured turbo. SAAB replaced it. This replacement was put in last thursday night. Now, TONIGHT.... The NEW replacement was whistling. I pulled the air intake, and looked at the fins.... JUNK.... HAMMERED... I've got about 100 miles on this SECOND rebuilt from SAAB, GARETT T25 turbo.
Air cleaner is CLEAN, as well as the tube.
New Oil coolant line, and new coolant line to the turbo this time too!!
What gives? 1 week?? I haven't even had it on the highway!!
HELLLLLP!!!!!!!!!
