Hey guys,
Looks like the wheel blades have been grinding into the upper portion of the compressor housing. To my touch, there is a bunch of shaft play up, down, left, & right. It has minimal amount of in & out play.
In the picture at the top, you can see the blades have been grinding into the housing leaving a mark. I think the turbo has been lazy lately, not spooling up as quickly but weather is hot.
DO you think the off balance shaft could cause a little slower spooling? Although, it has been really hot & 80% + humidity when running the car lately.
I also found a pretty big slit in the coupler from turbo to the intercooler & replaced that but there was no difference. I also swapped out to another wastegate I have & no change as well. Turbo is 6 years plus old.
