Limped home from Salisbury

[Wild Thing]

Got Home from Salisbury at 11:45 last night as I had to limp the truck home with a nasty noise from the Turbo (souded like a cement mixer) plus using water and oil preasure only just reading on the guage.
Stripped it down today, cracked head, Turbo totaly fubared, its got about 15mm play in the bearings and shot the blades to pieces, as the bearings are that bad I'm hoping that is the cause of the low oil preasure as the engine was itself was quiet with no bottom end rattle.
Heres some pics of what i've found, looks like I'm off the road for a while till I've got the cash to sort it out.
Still enjoyed ourselves at Salisbury, Big thanks to Woodsie
