Need Pic of healthy turbo inlet fins
My Garret is looking worse and worse as I inspect it. The exhaust outlet fins look good while the intake inlet fins look kinda like something was scraping along the top of the fins. Although there is no shaft wobble at all and moves really well, could this be a problem if I plan to use this turbo? I don't know how close the fins have to be to the wall of the turbine, it has about 1/2mm gap between the compressor and fins.
Luckly I got the warranty at the pick and pull yard, gonna go back next week and maybe return and get another turbo if I can find one this time.

Re: Need Pic of healthy turbo inlet fins (technine)
Yes, this helps a hole bunch. Thanks! Looks like mine are ground down a little at the front on the larger fins but are fine on the smaller fins. Would you think it should be still good? Would using a drill to spin the turbo be a good way to see if it pull/pushes air good?
Never mind, I'm gonna return it. Just checked it out again and it is pretty bad. Thanks again.

DO NOT spin the turbo up with a drill - the bearings only work when there's a pressurized oil supply on the turbo and you will probably damage them spinning dry.

A little chewing up on the blades won't hurt you too much unless it is enough to knock the wheel out of balance

I don't know, maybe I will keep it so I don't have to pull/find another one. Seems to be pumping air out at a good rate and I have 27 days left to return it. Maybe I'll just keep it another 10 to do some fitting and go back to see if they have anymore to exchange possably. Only got it for $50 anyway w/ warranty.
Thanks guys... this turbo project is getting more interesting.
