I have this bullet tipped compressor. Majestic Turbo in Texas put it on and said it does something....but I forgot. This was a year ago and I am curious what this bugger is on my turbo. Any Ideas?

Also what is that white crud on my blades?

 

bullet smooths airflow. i doubt its a measurable difference.

white **** is from balancing. dont mess with it.

 

My best guess from fluid dynamics standpoint would be that the point would make the airflow coming in less turbulent, allowing the compressor to become slightly more efficient. The white stuff looks like water that dried on them and left mineral deposits.

 

Thanks guys.

And are you sure the white "****" is there for balancing?

 

well did you get so happy when u saw your turbo that you jizzed all over it?

i put my money on that

 

Is it sharp? My friend has one on his T3/T04E and it's sharp as ****.

And I thought no one would ever find out my lil secret

Yea the tip is pretty damn sharp. I like to put my finger on it when spinning at idle for some odd reason. I love my turbo so much, even though the biotch got some side to side shaft play

It's supposed to have some play. Oil clearance.

Yea I heard that before, but when I got the turbo new, it barely moved

 

how much extra was the bullet tip?

No idea, it just came with the turbo.

 

I believe that white stuff is used to clock the rpm of the turbo when they balance it.

 

looks like jiz...

that bullet thing is kinda cool... smoother, less turbulent air prolly.

 

i had my turbo rebuilt from them also. they gave the the bullet tip also.

 

uhm how do you get that thing off?
