Clicking during boost? (Going to check for play later today)Running 10psi no BOV or bypass valve bad? (saw spikes AfteR throttle, 15psi)

If so, looks like it's time to get a bigger turbo and accessories :'(

Check the shaft play, more than likely it's toast.

no bypass system in the intake stream probably killed the turbo. I have a feeling the compressor wheel contacted the housing and toasted the thrust washer as well.
