Calling All Turbo Gurus

Post by posey92 »

So Igot a nice honda kit for free the guy iI got it from was upgrading to a real car.(Evo) Anyeays its all usful but the turbo is.siezed...hes not sure why it was boosting that morning then he took it off the car when he got home for me to pick up later. I started taking it apart to look at bearings and such...they all looked good...started to put it.bak together and noticed it would fred spin just fine but once I snugged down the lock nut on.the compressor side it would go bak to siezed. A half turn off free spins...im new to turbos first time I even took one a part...made my marks assembled exactly the way it.was...any ideas why that half turn off frees it. The compressor vanes are.kinda beat up but.ive seen worse.running so yeah any thoughts.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
