To all people that were thinking about buying this turbo

Count your lucky stars you didnt .

The Seller claimed approx 4000kms Like new GCG High Flow R33 Turbo 1500 bucks or somewhere thereabouts

I messaged this fella and of course asked about shaft play, He claimed NONE i figured this was a fair claim when its done less than 5000ks

I payed him the 1300 bucks after looking at some pics and figured it looked the goods keeping in mind 5000ks no shaft play bonza i thought, been waiting 2 years to upgrade the turbo its all happening .

anyway the turbo arrives i open the box and have a squiz inspect exhaust wheel all good there , XTR actuator good , ispect the compressor wheel and housing inlet Hmm , Scores on the inlet where the compressor wheel as made contact with the housing while spinning NOT GOOD , then i figured how could this be with no shaft play????

checked the shaft play and well well well what do ya know about 1.5mm 2mm of play in and out on the shaft (causing the contact with wheel and housing) and side to side bearing play well and truly over the 1mm tolerence that GCG told me there is for expansion when warmed up .

To top it all off it smokes it tits off make an un earthly noise when coming up over 5psi and is basicly sh|t

This is how the topic should have read

GCG High Flow R33 Turbo , Some shaft play , blown hotside seal, does work but will require rebuild $900

lesson learned

Cheers
