7m gte problems

[86-surf]

my brother got him self a toyota supra with the 7m gte motor in it.

for some reason it has stopped going, It will turn over but wont run,
he was on his way back to rotorua from fishing and it started making a ticking noise and then the engine just died, he said that the turbo had been winding it self up like it had a mind of its own but you cant realy trust anything he says.
So if he cant get it going ill take the motor of it and put it in the surf:D

Any help would be apprestiatid

The motor or the turbo, What one could be pooped just the turbo i hope.

Will get my compresion tester out and have a look

if it was just turbo than it would still start i think, just be very smoky...
im thinking if it free boosted bad enough then he could have done all manner of damage...

or... it could be something completely different...
