I was gonna put Mike's turbo on today, but his compressor housing has a 2" outlet instead of the 3" that I need.

I'm gonna take this down to the local turbo expert tomorrow and see if he can rebuild it for me.





Looks like you burned it up I doubt that is from debris.

How do you burn up a turbine wheel? I thought the only thing that would potentially fry were the bearings?

Check your housing too. The turbine may have contacted it while it was out of balance. I had turbo do that, and it chewed up the housing. It's cheaper and easier to get a new turbo sometimes. I still haven't found out why mine did that either. I doubt it's from your #7 though since you had oil burning issues when the engine was healthy. I just think precision turbos has shitty quality control and this is the result. It got out of balance and started contacting the housing. That ore it got too hot, and then started into the housing.
