Turbo ct26 problem

phwoarrr, I wouldn't drive it like that. If your thinking of doing so just imagine for a moment that one of those hard sharp chunks of turbo jams down the side of a piston. That shard of metal then scrapes up & down the cylinder wall over 700 times a minute at tickover, rev the engine it'll be making the journey anywhere up to 5500 times a minute. Now think how many strokes of a file it takes to make a nice mess of a chunk of steel...

Your choice ultimately but I wouldn't wanna risk it...
