discolored fan on turbo
Hello all. About 6 months ago I took my silencer ring out and just looked at the turbo fan because I was curious, nothing caught my attention. Last week I was changing my oil and had to take the torque tube off and noticed that one of the fins was slightly colored light gray... and none of the others were. Does anyone know what this could be??? thanks.

I noticed the same thing on mine yesterday. I have no silincer ring and I was installing my AFE Stage ll Intake. I noticed one of the fins was a white color. I rubbed it and it didn't come off. I realy didn't pay much attention to it and just installed the intake. Everything seems to run fine.

I was told that is some sort of balancer paste applied by holset during the manufacturing process. If you try to rub it off you can't and mine has changed to a grey shade over time, interesting.
