What was the car doing that made you think the turbo is bad?
I always see 5sfTe guys swapping out turbos left and right, and yet people with bone stock mr2's and alltracs use them for years without any problems.

Well the problem was that the car was boosting fine, but then it stopped making boost. Thought it was a boost leak for awhile, but mainly we think that the turbo is bad because the turbine doesn't spin when the car is running. mhm.

Can you spin the wheel by hand when the car is not running? If it spins fine, but is not boosting, then you have a boost OR exhaust leak, thats causing the problem,
Normally, when a turbo dies, it either starts to make funny noises, or you see lots of blue smoke from the turbo seals going out.

shall check to see if it spins by hand...i didnt see any blue smoke or hear any weird noise other than the divertor blowing off...maybe something in the videos can clarify things...the guy said the throttle or intake manifold took too much air in and thinks it went bad...do you remember derrick what he said...ill give him a call later as well.
okay i pulled the filter off and pipe... i can move the turbo by hand...still has the same shaft play as before which is minimal...spins fine by hand...what should i look for next?
Post those vids! Thanks!

Yeah his car did move a lot during the dyno. It looked like it was about to come off the dyno haha. It moved so much it hit the fan in front of it and moved it.
my car is a beast, she wants to fly
They should have strapped the car down better.

he did strap it down better after that happened
I wanna know the numbers! also, for your loss of boost, check that the vacuum hose going between the turbo housing and wastegate actuator didn't pop off. happened to me and I couldn't boost past about 1 PSI.

it did pop off, we put it back on, still no boost
okay, pulled turbo off and found the answer...a stainless oil feed line got cut open somehow and no oil to turbo = dead.....the turbine on the exhaust side isnt even on anymore...thats what the noise in one of the video is and prob why it smoked

Holy drivetrain loss, Margie. 
Man, screw that. If the same happens to mine when I take it to the dyno, I'll freaking swap in a manual tranny, LOL.
