Should I buy a turbo with a chipped fin?
 

Ok someone is selling a greddykit(missing some parts but the major stuff is there) for really cheap

but the turbo has a chipped fin, and a lil shaft play.

he says that the chipped fin wont have any real effect on performance. is this true?
What negative effects would the chipped fin have??

thanks.
I believe you can see the damage in this pic(edit: pic works now)

it will waste the bearings thats a hella chip. which will throw it out of balance

o thats brutal! hehe how much is he asking?

Re:Should I buy a turbo with a chipped fin?
 

If it is that cheap then buy it and rebuild it. Otherwise...No! Do it right the 1st go.

Hmmm...yeah if the price is right go for it and rebuild it or just go balls out and run it. I bet it still builds boost just fine. It's probably a bit off balance though. Tough call. How much?

I'm sure it will still boost fine, but sooner or later the unbalenced turbo is going to give up..
