zeeboost Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I feel like an idiot posting this, but I can't remember for the life of me how the old seal was installed. I'm rebuilding my first turbo, which is a turbonetics t3/t04, and this is about the last thing I need to install before I reassemble everything. So, does the carbon seal face towards the compressor wheel: Or towards the thrust bearing: I'm assuming towards the compressor wheel...? I googled for pictures of this, but the other turbo rebuilds I found used a different compressor seal type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Gpopshop e-mailed me back, and apparently the carbon-side is supposed to be facing the thrust bearing, so I'm glad I didn't install it based on my ASSumption. The second picture is the proper way the seal should be facing, for future reference to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
