Ive got this PhatShaft71 that I would like to unload. However there are a couple things about it that may make it a little less desirable and I just want to be open and honest about it, cause I dont want anyone to feel like theyre gettin ripped. I ran this charger for about 1/2 the season last year on my puller. My truck ran great with it, but about half way through the season I bought a S465 so I could run in the 2.5 class. So I took this one off. Exhaust housing has a few cracks in it which is pretty common of cast housings and high EGTs. The turbo had a little oil and soot on it from an exhaust leak that I had so I decided to clean it up one night. While cleaning it I decided to take the compressor housing off just so I could clean it a little easier. Upon inspection of the compressor housing and wheel it looks like there was a little housing to wheel contact at some point. Im not sure how this happened since the turbo still feels nice and tight with very little up and down play and no in and out play. My only guess is that perhaps whenever I barked it really hard at the end of a pull that maybe it was enough to flex the shaft for a second enough for it to push the wheel into the housing. Here are a few pics of it. Im going to ask $1150 for it because I still feel like this charger would be fine to run and I wouldnt hesitate to run it on my truck, but some one else may feel different. If you look very closely in the pics of the comp wheel and the inside of the housing you can see what im talking about.
