Revisiting my GT2052 Turbo Build for the Jeep Cherokee 2.5TD....Because I Killed the Turbo....

A begrudged rebuild of my GT2052 Turbo on the Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5TD. I used the wrong material hose for the oil drain on the last build which resulted in the pipe expanding and collapsing causing a complete block of oil returning to the sump. This caused a huge build up of oil pressure in the turbo which compromise the seals, spewing oil out of the exhaust and intake. Fortunately not enough to cause a run away.
You live and learn!
