  1. Appreciate the responses guys. [emoji106]I wouldn’t say there’s a lot of shavings (no copper) but also not a little, dropped the pan, little bit in there. Bought 10 oil filters and 10 5qt jugs of oil, primed the turbo good after new one was installed and have been flushing like crazy, idle flush then a short drive and flush rinse and repeat. More and more clean until finally no metal left. Fingers crossed but not unprepared for a tear down/rebuild. It’s a 2005 lgt with 87xxx. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Well I would want the filters to catch anything, I would let the car idle for a few minutes, drain the oil-new filter and repeat before i even put the car in gear. Then replace the banjo filter before a very short low speed drive before another oil change. Rinse and repeat. I’ve heard both ways, some say screw it tear it down, some say the Scoob gods are kind and bless a small amount of people who do frivolous flushing [emoji848] (not saying you’re wrong, there has to be realist to balance the optimist).

  3. I’ll save the quick run down cookie cutter horror story I’m sure everyone’s familiar with on here. Turbo went out, shaft broke so everything was just bouncing around instead of shaving itself off in the housing. Now I’ve read, re-read the failed turbo sticky, then read it again. It answered 95% of my questions. I’m keeping fingers crossed and being optimistic in saving the motor. Banjo filters were removed before I bought the car. Now I’m worried about contaminants In the oil running unfiltered into the turbo during the flush. Drained the oil and saw a couple barely visible shavings, even strained the oil through a towel. Found nothing. Which I know doesn’t mean I’m in the clear. Should I throw some replacement banjo filters in while I flush? Maybe https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/oil-feed-lines-and-fittings/ts-0804-1001-turbosmart-billet-turbo-oil-feed-filter Appreciate any suggestions
