Taxi 8 u Member 57 Member For: 16y 10m 12d Gender: Male Location: Where you want to be! Posted 03/03/09 08:53 AM Share Posted 03/03/09 08:53 AM Hey guys, not sure if this is a common problem. Ive just pulled out all the piping (from air box to throttle body) in my T. When I took the piping off the front of the turbo (intake) I noticed some of the fins were either missing their tips or they were just bent over slightly.My questions are:-Should I be concerned?Can I just get the compressor wheel replaced?Or time to to upgrade turbo?Cheers for any help.
