i got this T3 turbo for $68. the guy said that he though the wheel needs to be replaced, but i saw a wheel that looked like this before and it was "cutt" or "chipped". so is this chipped? or is it realy brocken?




No, the turbo was not that clean and shinny when i got it, i did that. if you want yours cleaned too let me know.

 

Umm... That thing is jacked.

i used my Air compressor to turn the wheel on the exaust side and the compressor side seemed like it was pushing air fine.

and where do i buy a new wheel?

 

what would this do to the tubo? what effect would it have?

 

well what would this do to? any loos in boost?

 

well, where can i buy a new wheel at?

 

well, what are stage 1, 2, and stage 2 wheels that people have? and where can i find a used wheel. the turbp it self is fine, it is factory re-built and has the stamp ont eh side saying that it is. there is no shaft play and spins freely. so i dont want to re-build it.

 

youre thinking of clipped. which is normally done to the exhaust side, i think. either way, like GSRslowandswap said, it ingested something disagreeable. it looks like the inducers are almost gone. and you may have damaged the bearing section in it when you spooled it with the air compressor, also, if it didnt have any oil in it.
