I've got myself a xr6t again 03 BA, lightly modified. (injectors, exhaust, boost @ 16, Hd valves) And I was just checking hose clamps and cleaning the engine, decided to take the piping to the turbo off and saw this. Photo uploaded. Looks like one blade is damaged.... no clue how someone or how something could do this and wondered if this has happened to anyone else? Seems so unique its just one of the blades and right across the width of it. Its very rough like some got a tool and scraped it. The shaft has about 0.5mm play and when I turn off the engine, spins for about 20-30secs before it stops (which sounds good) but it is a bit noisy. I would think the bearings need replacing.... It has a earls filter on the oil line, premium oil at changes but I have no clue to its history or what work is really done to the car since I have no paperwork and I got it fairly cheap 1.5yrs ago. Any ideas on the condition of the turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the play doesn't allow the wheel to touch the housing, it's probably fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
