> [@layzie](#): > > also like i mentioned before, i think if it was that piece that fell in it woulda destroyed the turbo sorry I missed that…I guess if that piece broke during a time when the manifold was cooling after the car was shut down and popped inwards and then the car started I could see it causing exactly that damage. ---

thats what i considered as well, that it might have been in there when the turbo was off and once it started to spin it kicked it out, but sense the turbine spins so fast and is so brittle it did that to all the very tips of the blades. i hope i can just get a wheel at most for it, and my luck its the turbine with the shaft so its expensive as hell i guess ---

you can’t just throw a new turbine on it…it has to be balanced. ---

> [@Devioustsi](#): > > you can’t just throw a new turbine on it…it has to be balanced. ya im aware it needs to be balanced, thats the main reason i would get the wheel replaced cuz these dings will through it out of balance, but what i meant was the turbine is the extent of parts that i would need instead of a full rebuild and it would go to somewhere like precision or atp or garrett to be fixed ---

well then im going to have to go with “weld slag inside the mani” for $10 alex … was the manifold back purged or solar fluxed before it was welded ? or did they skip that step and let the inside oxidize ? it takes almost nothing to damage a part liek that when its moving that fast ---

OT…how much were u charged to have the housing coated? On Topic: like we discussed…if i were u I’d get the good manifold on, put this turbo on and try it before u spend stupid amounts to have it repaired. i know for a certain poocharger rebuild, it is NOT cheap. you said u didnt notice any additional lag over the manifold-issue so i’d try it out. it doesnt look “that” bad ---

50 for the coating, its black/grey and thats what i am thinking of doing. its just the very very tips of the turbine. i may just have it sent off to be looked at for free over witner ---
