Need Turbo Expert For Exhaust Fin Advice

[jarrod83]

Hey, i bought a turbo kit about 10 weeks ago n i finally received it yesterday, but the exhaust housing had to be sent to people that make the exhaust turbo blankets to make a custom one, and the turbo was posted without the exhaust housing and subsequently suffered a slightly bent fin with a few tiny cracks stemming from it, they dont run very far

I would just like to know the seriousness of the bent fin, will it effect its performance, durability and would it need to be sent back

Cheers

these thing spin at 200,000 rpm + . i dont think a bent fin is good especially with cracks. sent it back for sure

any imperfections in the impeller what so ever, will cause the unit to hand grenade on its first trip to redline, if not sooner.

contact the clowns that packaged it and get them to send u another one.

having to send the exhaust housing off is a new one.

what sort of turbo is it that would require sending the housing to the beenie place?

The first kit that got sent out got lost in transit apparently, then the second one i decided to add on the turbo blanket, and since i had the wastegate custom mounted of the exhaust housing, they had to send the exhaust housing to the place that makes the blankets to custom make it, and they sent them seperate to save time, as i had already been waiting 2 months =/
