Iv got the little Fg turbo. My question is, am I able to source a new front wheel that I can change myself, or do I have to replace the whole core to fix this? Any help would b good.

Turbo wheels dont just shatter out of no where. bearings fail then they make contact with housing (turbo replacement) or something goes through them and you have other issues like failed airfilter, piping, internal paint flaking etc, and in this case you will at least need the wheel replaced and the issue fixed and also the turbo rebalanced and checked out, possibly rebuilt. Bearing failure can also have a number of causes like blocked oil feed line or imbalance. best to get it checked out properly or you'll probably throw money away. You should also try to find the missing pieces of turbo, they don't normally disappear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
