well were shall i start well the transmition was best described aswell mullerd an as for the diff that was plain f***ed wasnt surprising considering it had put up with abuse for nearly 20years with an extra bhp runnin throu it,then we moved on to checking the turbo,stupidly i assumed that it would be fine as its was only replaced last year for a brand new hyrid turbocharger from turbotechnics,we checked the shaft an saw there was upto 0,9mm play which is to excesive especialy for the age, after more exsamination we noticed the blades had actuely hit the hounsing cousing sum to bend an chip needless to say i pi$$ed

, we now need to do more investigating to figure out the actual cause of the engine faulure, i.e was it due to turbo internal faulure cause foreighn objects to go inside the engine causing valve/piston, bore damgage, or was it caused by the ringland snapping on cylinder 3 causing metal particles to go into the oil feed to the turbo bearing/internals causing the turbo failure.

after all that we noticed the brake master cylender wasnt workin correctly so a new one is needed from toyota and they dont come cheap!
but wot does these days.
