Imploded Turbo.
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2021 2:08 pm
Hello everyone!
I'm new here and new to Ktuner.
I just got my car back from the dealership yesterday. I was running the stage 2.0 dual tune with 93 fuel. Car ran perfect for about a week. Then my worst fears happened. I let her rip on the interstate and and lost all power, car wouldn't shift and rolled to a stop, then shut off. It never started again.
So, I had it towed to the nearest dealership (I flashed back to stock while waiting on roadside assistance.) Once the dealership diagnosed the car they informed the turbo pretty much imploded. The intercooler was damaged as well as the catalytic converter.
Surprisingly I guess honda didn't really check into the ecu to see if it was tampered with. Long story short Honda paid for the repairs. (Car only has 26000 miles).
I dont know if I was running the wrong tune.(Maybe should have done stage 1). Or if this was some freak accident. The mechanic said he never seen a turbo fail on this platform in this fashion. So I'm guessing honda handle this as a defective Turbo?
Would any of you guys shed some light on how long you've been running your tunes? Preferably users with stock engines.
Thank you for your time.
