Jhandy Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 right i have just taken the compressor housing off my holset turbowhen i took it off, in blue writing it said damaged turbine vainno it all looks new apart from two small cut outs, now i dunno if that is part of the way they weight the turbo or notbut im really worried now, because i dont want to spend £800 on a custom turbo kit, and it not work, here is a few picscheers jake Quote
micky boy Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 That looks like some sort of located pin could be rong though Quote
Jhandy Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 no on the compressor wheel dude, the 2 little cut outs Quote
micky boy Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Ahh i see now lolTbh that shouldnt knock the balancing out!But to be on the safe side i would either get the balancing checked or if you can buy a new compressor wheel then do so! Quote
Jhandy Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 this is the thing, it doesnt have a serial number plate, so i have np part numbers nothingi might see how it is to get it checked Quote
AdamB Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 It is probably due to balancing. Some material has been removed to ensure that it is within tolerence by the looks of things. Quote
Idrees Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 It looks normal, I've seen that on other turbos too. Quote
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 That is actually the "first" original balance mark. It would make the balancing out by a LOT if it was done by accident. A dot of tipex, or marker pen, infact simply holding one side so it warms and expands will all through out the balancing.Ahh i see now lolTbh that shouldnt knock the balancing out!But to be on the safe side i would either get the balancing checked or if you can buy a new compressor wheel then do so!As I said above, its not damage its just the balance marks from when the compressor wheel was machined. They will have then assembled and done a second, finer balance. Quote
Jhandy Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 i see it all makes sense nowcheers for the help guys Quote
