Blayzin212 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I have a forced performance red turbo on my 06 lgt. It's about 5 yrs old and the turbine housing keeps rusting on me. The compressor housing doesnt rust at all. Is there something that I can apply to the turbo to make it stop rusting? I cleaned it very well with a wire brush and I may see a crack around it, however it looks much more like a molding cast spot. Has anyone had a turbo housing crack or break? Its got less than 10,000 miles on it and was tuned on a dyno at tpg tuning. Though I dont have an egt sensor I haven't ever seen anything that would make me believe that it gets too hot. Having trouble uploading the image of the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blayzin212 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 No I haven't talked to forced performance yet because its Sunday and I just saw it today. However great idea, yet simple and strangely enough went right over my head. I definitely will tomorrow. I will give the pic posting another try.
