Do My Turbo's Look OK?
Here is a shot of my turbo vanes. To the experts, does it look normal?
I got the shot when in a fit of complete madness ... I decided to reinstall the stock exhaust ... by myself! Don't try this alone, it was brutal! (I will discuss why I changed back later.) https://i.pbase.com/o4/34/656134/1/6...eExg.turbo.jpg TIA |
you can't really tell much from the pic. Is there any endplay on the tubine?
|
....Lean...
|
No endplay phthom.
Explicit, how do you know it's lean? |
The "whitish" color of the blades.
Do you run leaded race gas? It too causes that "whitish" color.

Not leaded, no. Unleaded race gas, often. What color should the blades normally be? The color might have been a little more tan, but it was pretty light tan, like a good plug looks.

blades look good as longa s there is no play on the shaft the turbos look good
|
They look fine. You can only judge the color as bad if you had JUST made a wide open pull. Of course the car will run leaner at light load when out of boost. If there is no play in the shaft everything is fine.
