Wow. Sympathy. I was expecting another snide joke. :)

I think it's probably the side seal or spring that got taken out by a piece of turbine wheel. Too much of a coincidence otherwise, but I bought the PB Blaster spray stuff recommended by Tracy just in case. Anyone have any tips for getting apex seals to pop?
 
If you do tear it down, go ahead and order some of those seals that Tracy's selling Turbo Boy.   
I plan to. 3MM ones. And the teflon seals.
 
I wonder if he would warrantee them against "John Slade"... Nay, he's smarter than that :-) 
If the warrantee doesn't mention me by name, and I buy new housings I'm in.
