The housing can be machined off centre, damaged or moved in postage, or just a really poor design common to stuffing 3076 cores into stock housings. Hypergear should have been your first port of call imo. ;)

is it a GCG highflow ?, how loud was your whining noise?

Kando highflow with OP6 rear housing. Whining noise wasn't very loud but noticeable. Wasn't until I come onto a highway at full noise at about 6000rpm that it became a screeching noise :-| blue smoke everywhere after that as well haha.

Pulled the intake off and the shaft play is more like 'shaft free roam'.

My oil feed gasket let go and starved the bearing of oil is my guess for it's failure.

can a turbo be damaged through postage?

If it was fully assembled when posted - No.

Not unless it received such a massive shock that it PHYSICALLY damaged the compressor housing, by means of cracking it. That would be one BIG impact.

I recommend you ask the seller why he removed it and ask for PROOF. I hate to be the nay sayer but I think you will find he took it off knowing it was making a whaling noise.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
