Message When I pulled my blown stocker this is what I found. I believe the root cause was too much sealer on the water pipes when I had my 120K service done by a local import mechanic. I won't say who it was since I can't prove fault, but he once had (maybe still has?) a very nice Z32 that got a pretty extensive writeup in a tuner mag back in the day. I know, big whoop.

That's silicone sealer stuck in the water line banjo bolt.

Clogged turbo coolant line 1, Banjo with unknown foreign object inside

Clogged turbo coolant line 2, It's obvious now the foreign object is silicone sealer

Clogged turbo coolant line 3, Expensive proof that the simplest detail can ruin your day

Blown PS turbo, compressor side

Blown PS turbo, turbine side

More proof that it's the little things that can ruin your day. At least it wasn't a pregnant bug :-P
