177248 turbo help S400

[mech2161]

I screwed up and didn't tighten the clamp on the compressor housing. For sure it needs a compressor wheel, maybe a rebuild. May consider trading a 65mm S400(minus exhaust housing) with less than 500 miles on it for the work. I'd like to get it plugged and machined to 2.6. I hate to spend more money after the conversion on my screw up.

That sucks Kevin! You have another charger to run?

I have the 65mm. Yeh this sucks. Jumped on the interstate, heard a noise, no boost. I wanted to have some work done to this one, have no choice now.

 

[cummins724]

That sucks. Hope you get it fixed soon. I wanna see that beast run!

I got it cleaned up. It doesn't look as bad as I thought. May get by with just a wheel.

zstroken (Dan) got me out of another mess. Were going to end up with a 3.0 wheel and housing plus a little fine tuning.
