Hi guys, I purchased a set of used 15G turbos to replace my stock 9b's. My stock rear turbo had turbine damage so I replaced it right away and all was good.
I finally got around to replacing the front and developed smoking during decell. I pulled it off and replaced the turbine seal, during reinstall, I could push the shaft into the bearing housing by hand. My stockers, I noticed I had to tap with a nylon hammer.
The seal felt a little loose on the shaft, so I'm thinking I need a new turbine shaft. And the smoking got worse after I cleaned carbon away from the shaft where the seal seats.
Here's my problem, I bought converted 15Gs with clipped turbine blades, so I can't just swap one of my stock ones in it, or can I? Is there a different blade I can use to kind of even them out? Does anyone possibly have clipped turbine shafts? Lol
Sorry for all of the questions, but I'm totally clueless as to what I can run and what I shouldn't.
Thanks!
