Can you let us know why your T04R blade is all turning to yellow ? and did you buy this turbo from HKS USA dealer?. do you want to share your story?

Happened to Dragon as well. T04R directly from HKS and it came off.

HKS is going to replace his turbo. They somewhat sponsor him so it is not too hard to get another turbo it is just a pain to change it out. I want to be done with this damn car.

I have the so called TO4R also...but it not from HKS. In the pics that housing doesnt have HKS's brand cast in it.Devil-FC pic has it .

Does that mean anything?Yellow indicates some contaminate baking on the wheel.
