I think it may self destruct from vibration. ballance it and see what happens. I would replace the shaft though.

Its a 12a. I'm selling my Civic and I don't want to sell it with the T3/T4 so I was just going to build another kit using this turbo. Its not worth it to fix this turbo since I had 50 other ones but if its still useable than I'd like to use it

i dont see y not, ive read about if the fins are hitting the housing its junk, but if they r broke it will prob just lose efficency of the turbo.
