Yup, it's an ssautojunk turbo, but I don't think it's their fault that the nut backed off. I never noticed, but I don't think the threads are backwards?? atleast I hope not!

Anyone have a wheel for sale that will fit this turbo? ----, I was a stupid idiot when I traded my friend my brand new .63/.60 for this ssautojunk t3/t04e. Mind you, i've seen the same turbo on another car make 196whp and 190 trq at 6psi.

Are torques (spelling?) threaded backwards??

Do you mean like a Torx bit? It's like a star shape? I'm confused as to what part you are reffering to.

well well well... look what I found under the car!!

I'm half drunk and it's a gravel driveway, but look what I found.. :)
You can see the piece I broke off the fin trying to make it straight.. now, just need to get it aluminum welded and it'll be good as new! Props to turbo90accord4dr for the idea to look for the nut.

You can't weld up that aluminum on the fin. That thing is rotating at like 90234857290529 rpms. If it's a little out of balance you're screwed.

You're gonna have to buy a new wheel.

lol, I'd just straighten up the fins the best you can and put it back together, lol.. otherwise you are going to need to get a new wheel.

I tried to straighten the fin and it broke off. I have no idea where to get a wheel for this thing, it's an ssautojunk turbo. I imagine that all t4 wheels are different?

Anyone have one they can mail me? ;)
