Hey everyone, Im back. I just upgraded my VE with the 366 and THD pin. Took the intake hose off just in case I didnt get the power screw back right. When I did I noticed my my Compressor wheel looked like it was built by BOEING. In other words, it looks like its been chewing on rocks. At least with my limited knowledge of turbos, this being my first one, I think its the compressor wheel. I checked it for play in/out, horizontal left and right, and up and down and it is solid. It spins smoothly. Builds boost. Twice the boost post the pump mods and some starwheel adjustment. It just looks really bad. Wondering what any of the turbos pros here might have to say or suggest. Money is extremely tight right now so a whole new turbo setup like I would really like to do is out of the question for at least 4 months.

 

I've had no issues with used turbos I've picked up for $200 and less. There were upgrades too, like WH1C and HX35W.

 

Year of truck?

The turbos change over the 1st gen years.

 

1993 W250. Previous owner says the Turbo was upgraded. All I can say not knowing anything about this stuff yet is that the placard on the turbo says its an H1C

 

 

Take the compressor housing off and snap us a picture of the compressor wheel and inside of the housing. It's easy to do, just a small band clamp on the outlet side and a big band clamp on the housing itself.

 

If I have time before the weelend ill do that. My priority this weekend assuming my parts from thd get here in time is to rebuild the top half of my ve pump as its leaking post upgrades.
