hi all!

i recently bought a second pair of turbos, as my rear on my current is leaking like crazy!

however the 2nd pair of turbos i got one has a dent on one of the blades..i have a seized turbo with a perfect wheel..

im wondering is it hard to change the comrpessor wheels over?...

cheers

show us the dent, most likely not to worry about.

The thing with turbos is they are balanced as an assembly, so if you remove the wheels, and put it on in a different position, how do u think that is going to effect the operation at 100,000rpm? hehe, any slight imbalancment will be huge at that rpm.

THen again if the blade is bent chances are it's out of balance.

I wouldn't use that turbo, and I really wouldn't try to reassemble one without rebalancing it either. Someones got a set of turbos for sale now, for 200bucks I'd grab those.

Ty when you say your turbos are leaking, are you sure its not just the blowby gunking everything up? Where's it leaking from?

m-eh... one of mine looked a heap worse than THAT one and it still boosted fine and ran a treat.
200 is a bargain anyways, enjoy them.

OH and try a proper digital camera next time,

Ah well, slap it on see how it goes, worked for James :-)
Then you get to pull your leaking turbo apart and see how flogged out it is!

Is the chipped wheel turbo for the front or the back? Just replace your leaking one, I've read you are able to swap the housings over to make it fit.
