there are ways to find out if u have a bad turbo. i could be wrong, correct me.
1. if your car have white smoke out from your exhaust there are chance a blown turbo. (most of time is a bad gasket)
2. take out the turbo and spin the blade to see if spinning freely. if not, there are sign like the blade is scratching the housing or not spinning it should be. is a bad turbo.
3. if u flow it and your turbo max out, no boost, and making funky noisy... your turbo is gone bye bye...
4. u can rebuilt the s15 bb. i'm not sure whats the cost to rebuilt, but i rather spent that money to get a better turbo. unless u got people can hook u up.
good luck bro. i'm worry about mine too. is a hks gt2510 bb, and u cannot rebuilt it. once is done...is done.
