  • Shot turbo?

    Hey guys,

    As some of you may know, i have been having turbo issues, but if you dont, my car makes 0 boost, which is due likly to the issue i am about to describe.

    Here is a short video i made, as you can see, the exaust turbine wheel is "bent" toward one direction. Im almost 100% sure the turbine is bent.

    Could there be a possibility that the bearing has been shot?

    What other possibilities could there be?

    The turbo is a HKS 2530.

    Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNGeGlSu3yI

        it looks like a bent shaft to me too, since it binds in one spot
        nice car love the color

Only at Alamo will you find a turbo for the largest gas compressor, locomotive or marine engine as well as the smallest automotive application.

        i believe they rebuild turbos give them a call
        understeer -is when you go off the road and see the tree that kills you
        oversteer-is when you go off the road backwards and dont see the tree that kills you
