put it back to stock that is easy enough to do. That is what I would do. What is broke on it? does it have death wine already how much boost were you running it at?

ok so your measureing in Bars 1.2-1.4?? what is broken? are the blades on the inlet damaged what does it sound like when it strats to spool? If you are going to bring it in to a dealer you need to take the MBC off and any other mods other wise you warrenty is toast and your buying a turbo.

the 20G on the IX should be blowing out only running 1.4bars that is 20.5 PSI which is stock boost on the IX. and it can handle maybe 27PSI max so your nowhere near that. let me ask what kind of boost gauge are you useing? not the stcok one I hope

When EMonz say put back to stock, he means put back all the stock parts before taking it back to the dealership, cause if you have the stock parts they won't be able to tell you had aftermarket parts on it.

not to be mean but i would have done some research on your car before putting parts on it....thats one of the main reasons i cam here is to figure out what i can do to my car before i did it to it and f*cked it all up

Well its ok now if he has any questions he can PM me or post a thread no big deal. I sounds like he sucked something into his compressor housing from the intake or something??? But other wise the turbo should still be good if its not running Exseively high boost
