Blew my turbo, options?

I would plastiguage to make sure...if you put it back together and the noise is still there it definitly wasnt the bottom end. If it was though the sound would have been a dull thud as opposed to a higher pitch clack. Stock bearings are best, they tend to be softer than a race oriented bearing and will let trash imbed into the bearing and save the journal instead of grinding it in and scoring it all up. Thats if you have a filter failure or pump failure.

I'm going to order ACL bearings. Should I order the std size?

[Dragon Humper]

Look at the brgs you have, they should have STD on them somewhere. If they were already larger they would have +1mm or somethin like that stamped on them. Chances are they are standard.

What oil should I run?

[Skym]

The bearings the factory fitted should be mentioned on front of crank (etched?? into crank). Look at engine manual, as it shows the location of this info.

Bearings finally arrived today and they are now in the car, however I have no idea what to torque the con rod nuts to? I tried looking in the FSM but it is very confusing. Also I do not own an angle wrench, I just have a regular ass torque wrench?

I actually tightened them to 37 ft lbs but realized that was wrong so backed them off, I hope that won't do any damage that I put them that tight right off the hop? They were only that tight for about 5 minutes.
