Evan Purple240zt Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Found this when I took my turbo off this last weekend. Why is it white? I assume it sucked something up. It does NOT seem bent. I know there is a tad of blade damage on the tips. There is no wear on the housing and everything else looks fine. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopick Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 LoL... it means it's been rebuilt / balanced. They use paint as a position marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I have seen worse. I would be worried where whatever did the damage went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 New turbos should have the white paint too... as they're balanced when they're new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Purple240zt Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hahah, I have never been so glad to feel like a dumbass. There were small chips on the impeller tips so I thought something more sinster may have been at work. I bought this new a couple years ago.
