sweetride2go Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I got these turbo's with the engine(vg30dett), but here is my immediate concern. If you look closely at the fallowing pictures, you can see some pitting on the leading edge of the compressor wheels. Are these ok? Salvagable? or will I not know completly till I tear the turbos down? Thanks Ryan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6t8vw Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 doesnt look too bad... id take the housing off and lightly sand the edges of the wheel and run it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'd not touch it and run it the way it is. Someone was running without air cleaners... Typical FOD ingesting pattern on the leading edge of the wheel. Won't hurt to clean the wheels with solvent, but I'd shy away from removing metal and altering balance on the nose of the wheel. If they weren't vibrating, don't look for trouble by removing metal... If it was an F15C and you were worried about something falling out of the sky in combat, I'd agree blending them to prevent stress cracks and pitching blades would be appropriate. But on this aluminum wheel....run it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
