yes it spins freely. very freely for a journal bearing turbo. but, the exhaust blades look like they have seen some extreme heat. and there was some filings and carbon build up in there.
carbon is ok but the metal filings is a little suspect…
im running out of ideas…
ok replace the turbo that was only part of the problem. i guess hiding behind the damn clamp on one of the charge pipes was a 4 inch tear on it. so replaced coupler and sea:up: led everything up good. and now its fine. thanks for all the advice guys.
thats really good
was the turbo stuffed though???
