It looks like the ceramic turbine is eating the housing!

Jesus ------- christ well I guess everyone thinks I'm working for Garrett and out to sell ball bearing turbos. Here's a comparison between 5 turbos (all which are in very good condition) Here's the other video with a comparision of a Mistubishi 12A turbo to an IHI RHB5 to an IHI RHB52 to a turbonetics T3/T4 to a ball bearing Garrett T3/T4

http://www.draglab.com/hmt/Whitey/Picture.mpg


The turbonetics T3/T4 is practially brand new. The reason it makes a sound in the first video is cause I just cleaned and reassembled it and it has a little bit of dirt on the turbine wheel. So if you think its shot than you have no idea what your talking about.

Easy now killer... I get your comparison. The first video confused me because I thought that crunching noise was something screwed up inside. but if most ceramic turbo's spin like that compared to a b.b turbo I'd much rather use the b.b. Maybe if this T3/T4 ***** the bed i'll look into it. That dirt in there isn't going to ---- anything up prematurely is it?
