Blown Turbo??

[Rubicon 327]

So I've searched under "blown turbo" and can't find anything.

If you blow a turbo what are the symptoms?

This morning I was getting into boost a bit after taking off from a light and it just fell on it's face, I lifted off the gas and then gave it some just to keep driving a normal steady speed and she was still running and it seemed fine until I looked in the rear view and saw blue smoke and a lot of it! I quickly pulled into a parking lot and shut it down.

Any thoughts?

A bad symtom would be that it won't make boost. If the wheels get damaged severely or the turbine separated from the shaft it could cause your symptoms. Remove the air inlet and feel the rotating assembly. Is it seized or have the wheels contacted the housings? Remove the down pipe and check the turbine

Thanks Brian!

I'm going to look at it tonight after work when I get it home!
