While I was over at setzep's house, we examined my compressor wheel. It seems to have about 1/16-1/8" back and forth play, and a lot of side to side, I can't tell if its hitting the compressor housing, but its damn close. Especially vs setzep's turbo.. This might explain why my boost takes such a long time to come on, I hit 6psi by 6k in 3rd gear Setzep's td07 hits like 10psi by 3.2(ish) k in 3rd gear.

So maybe its time to save for a to4S

 

if you wanna sell i'll buy it

 

wtf, i thought u had "no play what-so-ever"

 

That's similar to my experience with my turbo. I'm pretty sure it was never rebuilt, and has 100k miles on it. Then one day at the strip it starts burping oil on redline shifts. There was no end play, but about 1/8" side to side--not quite enough to rub the housing. Even with a very free intake and exhaust, I could not get the thing to boost over 8 psi. I'm hoping the rebuild does a lot better.

 

Why would you want a busted turbo? Im going to swap with a stocker to see if that solves the problem, but its strange becuase there is no smoke what-so-ever

 

I want a fmic too!! Damn heat soak, see 140deg temps during the day around town, w/o heavy traffic.. At night on the freeway I see 107 cruising..So thats the only real time I'm going to get to play

 

cause i'll send it out to get rebuilt. that is the same thing i used to have. i am also looking at a full turbo kit for my FC that should be fun

 

I'm going to take it to some fc buddies to make sure, maybe even swap or something, I'll keep you in mind though.

 

That's with an N/A hood, right?

 

I have a t2 right now..
