TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Welp I just got the turbo in. I must say, it's much heavier than I was expecting. But then again, i had no baseline. I added some pics, so lemme know if you see anything out of the ordinary. I'll start polishing the housing, and work on porting the wastegate. I'm still trying to figure out what to do to clean up the rusted hotside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'll send you a card... with a picture of my turbo. How's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ok so I just got the 4" DP off to take a looksie at the turbine. This is real time people, lol. Yes, it took me that long to permeate the bolds with WD-40 and get them off, by myself, on the floor, with a 3/8th-in. socket wrench, and my feet to hold it in place.

TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Uh oh, Houston we have a problem. Crack in the housing. Think it'll be a problem? It looks to be cracked on both sides, opposite of each other, of the wastegate hole. I simulated how deep it goes with the red line. Perhaps it'll just leak for now (will porting be an issue?), and eventually I can just weld it closed and run an external wastegate? Seriously, tell me something.
