Here you can see where the blades dug into the housing.

hello?

It depends on how chewed up it is. As long as the new impeller spins freely I would say it's fine. There may be a slight loss in efficiency since the surface isn't smooth but it's probably negligible.

It is junk m8, you will never be able to get that compressor wheel to be correctly balanced.

How can you tell?

>>15479508
you don't *need* a new housing but the damage might affect performance slighly.

>>15479854
he's saying he's gonna fit a new compressor wheel, or at least that that's what his dad suggested

>>15480022
just look at it lad

I know that the fan blades are completely fucked. We'll get a new compressor wheel. I'm just unsure if you meant that the housing and other parts around it will prevent it from ever being balanced again.

I don't think that guy knows what he's talking about. Just rebuild it and if it's still fucked buy another one that needs rebuilt. You will already have the parts to fix it.

you can bore it out and fit a bigger wheel if you want rid of that gouge

>buy a new intake impeller.
How is this even a question? The junkyard turbo would be cheaper and have an undamaged housing. Your father is fucking moron.

Calm down bub, it's his first time even owning a turbo let alone working on one. He's been working on carburetors all his life and i need to remind him that everything is injected now. He's old school.

>>15480826
You're a fucking faggot.

You can offer advice without it. Being rude doesn't make you appear any smarter.

>>15480872
he's just mad his dad never taught him how to work on cars

>>15480872
Without what?

>>15480582
Do you have a turbo balancer? Because if not, that thing will destroy the bearings in about 2 minutes if you just whack a random compressor wheel on it.

That involves milling and lathing right?
