The turbo on a 1KZ is a CT12B, same designation as the turbos on a 2JZ, but with possibly different sized wheels, especially the compressor wheel.

is the fan blade thing the exhaust turbine? Cos you'd be looking at some serious temps to melt that.

yeah thats it i was told thats probably melted i hooked an intercooler and uped the bost an extra 2psi .
after a month it just stopped boosting from 11psi down to about 5 psi now
i was told i melted the exhuast turbine ( i rememeber from you sayin it ) because the egt s were too high
i thought egts were lower with an intercooler but the guy said it could still melt the turbine thing anyway so i am stumped really . i checked all vacumn linesand intercooler intakes and everything is ok .
what can make your car lose bost like that it runs great still no smoke or anythin just real slow
