#48942, "RE: heat killed my turbo..." In response to In response to 0
Could be worse. I once had the oil supply fitting on the turbo leak oil all over my fiberglass wrapped manifold. It started billowing smoke out of the front of the car. I pulled over to avoid further embarrassment to find that my manifold was on fire. I had a half gallon of water in the trunk to put it out. I tried a little at a time to keep from cracking the manifold, but the fire kept coming back. Luckily, it finally got it out before running out of water. The manifold and turbo survived. The oil supply fitting went in the garbage (had an incorrect SAE taper instead of AN taper).
