You cannot DIY - I needs to be done by a professional turbo parts/re builder as it needs to be balanced.

However if the rear wheel is damaged - who knows what else is.

[putraged]

is it a big thing? a damaged rear wheel?

how much do u think it will cost?

how can i get the scheme / picture of turbo parts? i wonder what is canister.

thanks nismoid.

Well i just say if the rear is damaged - why/how? Something must virtually have gone through the engine for that. Comp wheel a bit more common but turbine isn't.

Cartridge might be damaged, totally depends on what is actually stuffed and how

Cost - depends on the above.

shit in the oil has blocked one of the oil galleries in the turbo.

easiest is a complete chra. buy the time you add up all the machining etc etc its easier to just get another turbo...

Actually Ash I'm not so sure about the turbine being the harder part to get , the GT compressor wheels are actually modified spec big center section diesel turbo parts . By modified I mean they have a smaller bore hole through their centers so its not like you can top and tail a truck one and bolt it in .

I went through this years ago with Brett - trying to find ways of getting smaller trim comp wheels into GT3076R's and GT3582R's . Some of the truck turbos have the wheels I wanted but no one wanted to bush back the bore size to suit the GT25BB sized turbine shaft . In other words the appropriate wheels are unique to these BB cartridges .

If you can get in good with someone that mixes and matches BB turbo bits you stand a reasonable chance of getting some of their components .

The thing is that if the turbine has had a big lose it may have struck the inner bore of the cartridges bearing housing and damaged the section that the turbine end piston ring seal runs on . You really need someone who assesses these things to pull it down and say yay or nay . Once the turbine housing is off gutting the cartridge is a reasonably quick and simple operation - in other words not much labour time .

The trouble with damaged turbos is that you can end up with something that owes you nearly as much and sometimes more than a new cartridge or unit .

I more-so meant the turbine was harder to kill.

Being you have

1. Air filter

2. Comp Wheel

3. I/C

4. T/B

5. Motor body

And whatever else in the way - to mince a turbine wheel just raises questions in my book
