Default Just got my turbo today, but it doesn't look right.

The blade on the bottom doesn't look right. The coating of that blade is chipped off . Can anyone tell me if it's normal?

They take off material to balance the shaft. It is fine!

Off Topic kinda: Just curious, but how many RPMs tdo turbos spin at? Seems like I read in a mag that its over 200,000 a minute???? That seems a little hight to me?

most top out between 100000 and 175000rpm.

thats really hummin along. For most street applications under 10psi, the rpms dont hit 100000, based on the compressor maps I have read.
