Excessive shaft play wore out the turbine wheel and/or housing.

I suspect I know what option that is, but before I pi$$ anyone off, I'll just keep it to myself. Got pics of the inducer portion of the wheel?

I am going to go out on a limb and say that the wheel is way to small for that housing. Not that it jumped out at me or anything.

HAHA, how the hell do you manage to put the wrong size wheel and not notice it!

You don't, he probably put a stage 2 housing on thinking it would make his turbo better, :o

Its like when the silly ricers will put a huge turbo on their stock car. It only feels faster at the top end now...because they lost all the low end power!

We've seen more then a couple of mismatched turbine wheels/housings come in for rebuilds. They are amazed at the performance gains when we are finished rebuilding them. :D

Stage 2 housing and stage 1 wheel.

Turbo would not make over 7psi, with massive lag time. From what I gathered, the turbo was shipped with the wrong stage housing and wheel directly from Turbonetics.

At least we know happens now.

I'd be pissed if i was that customer, :(

That customer put a stock .48 housing back on and it is happy with the performance of the turbo now.
