turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 28/11/13 12:44 PM Author Share Posted 28/11/13 12:44 PM This is what I am on about.In conclusion, the key to maximum life out of a turbocharger is proper selection of components, precision balancing of those components, and careful assembly of the turbo. An additional balancing operation performed on the completed turbo is not absolutely necessary in most cases, but it does provide a higher degree of confidence in the final product. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86862-in-car-compressor-wheel-swap/page/4/#findComment-1442927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 13/11/14 01:34 AM Author Share Posted 13/11/14 01:34 AM (edited) Turbo is doing great. No issues.No change in tune. Too many of you guys running off to the tuner for nothing. Tuner likes it though$$$$$But in saying that my boost tables are modded. You could have issues in the boost control area if stock tune. Don't know, just try, will just cut boost if issue.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 1d Gender: Male Posted 29/01/15 02:00 AM Author Share Posted 29/01/15 02:00 AM I replied in the other Compressor wheel thread. All good. Just do it and make sure you torque the nut properly to not alter the runout of the turbine shaft.Also I would tend to do this on a virgin turbo only. It the turbo is not virgin, you really just don't know how the previous guy screwed it. The turbine shaft runout would need to be checked and so whilst the turbo is out of the car you may as well get the balance checked. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86862-in-car-compressor-wheel-swap/page/4/#findComment-1526498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
