bring on the flames ... i'm a n00b to the turbo worl ...

just bought a greddy turbo setup from a member on marketplace recieved the turbo and the turbine and compressor housing where pulled apart when i opened the box ... now my situation is

when the turbing and compressor housing are pulled apart the wheel spins freely but when the housings are put together the wheel is hard as **** to spin ...

i'm wondering has the turbo **** out or what ? ...

someone come and give me a some guidance / advice because this whole ordeal has just been making me more frustrated and frustrated ...

 

usually unless the housings are fully aligned, it wont spin right

now my next question is how do i align it , cause i'm guessing just putting the two pieces together like i've been doing isn't working is there some mark or certain way to do it ? ...

 

bump.

 

Make sure both housings are clean and free of dirt where they bolt up to the center section, I have never heard of an alignment or anything, they just bolt together.

 

well thats what i mean, unitl they are bolted down, they really arent aligned

 

yea bolt them together still prorblem send it off to be rebuilt or some who will machine it to fit. Warranty? thats if theres a permanent problem

 

i'm not seeing a bolt ...

sucks cause i thought i was getting a good turbo and i open the box and see this mess ...

now i gotta pay more money to get this fixed ! ...

 

bring that **** to my work to look at it. hahaha. but get us some pics. are you saying the housing is off in pieces? just put it back together. hopefully all the bolts are there

 

Send it back or post some pix.
