Hi everyone, so Ive rebuilt a few turbos but this is a new one to me. While taking off the exhaust turbine housing Ive managed to somehow break a piece off of the center section. I must add this exhaust housing was welded on like no other. But anyway i was wondering if anyone has had this happen before and what they did. Also if i were to continue the rebuild would their be consequences in the future? I just want to know if i turned this turbo into a paper weight, hope that's not the case. Thanks

 

Does anyone have some help full advice?

 

If it can be clocked to someplace that works for you with that bit missing out of the flange - I'd button it up and run it like it is. That flange looks like it's mostly there to anchor the turbine housing.
