Turbo blades
I was changing my oil today and thought I saw something on one of the turbo blades. I wiped it with my finger. Are these things forgiving of something like that or did I un-ballance it (considering how fast they rotate)?
Thanks

You won't hurt the turbo by wiping crud off the blades with your finger. What was on there, anything? Most turbos I've seen have some paint or dye on the blades, I guess put there when they are balanced. As long as you're not in there scraping on it with a screwdriver...

To me it was just alot easier to put a bag around the AC electrical connector and drop the filter from there
Oh well I guese it doesn't matter now because I don't change my oil anymore
