1 some what broken fin can't make the whole wheel crap would it? it would still create boost.. i say throw it back in till u get a new wheel lol.. may not create its potential power but better then not driving it at all for now...

I would clean up the broken fin as best as I can. Square it off so you can get a better judge of size. Then I would break off a piece exactly the same size on the opposite side of the turbine. Use a micrometer to make your measurements. Good luck!

I did put it back on. It spins but it sounds like a rock is going in there, then the blades stop spinning... then they spin all over again. I think I might have gotten 0.25 psi boost, but that's about it. And the drag races were this weekend, but I doubt i'll be able to get my hands on a t3 by then.

The sad part is that I just put a 1st gen dsm valve on it and i'll never get to hear what it sounds like.

I'm gonna go take pics of my setup right now just to hold you guys over until I find another turbo.

ya just get another wheel. its going to be out of balance and it will just end up ruining the rest of the turbo. can u still return it?

Stan

No, I traded my friend my t3 .63/.60 for this t3/t4.. stupid mistake on my part. Anyone have a spare .42/.48 for sale that I can keep as a backup turbo?

Here are the pics:

Putting the block together:


My car next to some guys sunfire
Sporting a new Mugen style lip kit:


The setup:


Charge pipe with 1st gen dsm bov and 2.5" marine exhaust hose (makes awesome couplers!)


Here you can see the two T's I put in the fpr line to run my bov and boost gauge:


Stevemode oil feed line, tial 35mm wastegate, home made boost controller and a broken *** t3/t04e that needs a compressor wheel (help!!!!):


o2 sensor (i'm lazy and didn't cut the rubber thing off), dump tube, sexy downpipe (no beau garrison shot, sorry):


intercooler tucked away behind the bumper cover, with the grill still in place!:



That's all for now.. I'll post video if someone can hook me up with a cheapy t3 in good shape or a t4 compressor wheel to fit this t3/t4!

stan your car is turning out hot!!

Stan

I'd love to get one, but those are mega expensive aren't they?

Anyways, I need a turbo for Saturday.. I doubt i'll be able to find one (unless someone on here can express mail me one!!!) for the races this weekend. Brand new motor and no turbo, damn.
