Well, my turbo tried to injest the nut holding the compressor wheel on, and things did not go well from that point onward. You can see the damage, and the housing, in this picture.



From what I can tell, the inside of the housing has just gotten a bit of a "machined" finish to it inside the housing, but the wheel itself is scrap and would need to be replaced. Would the housing be junk now too? I'd like to salvage/replace what I can to get this working again.

I found a wheel on ebay for a T04 60-1 compressor wheel (here), and I assume that the A/R .60 means that its a 60 trim compressor, so will these work together? What other options do you guys know of for repairing this? I dont want to go to a full T3/T4 or GT turbo because of time and money constraints, fixing this hybrid or building another would be ideal for me. Thank you!

 

Any other t04b compressors larger than what you have now can be machined to fit your t04b cover.
Even the super trim t04b wheels like 60-1 can fit, but the housings do need to be aggressively machined with new backing plate due to the increased exducer size of the super trim wheels.

 

Don't they also machine the backing plates as well,or do you need a new one?

 

Yes that’s rite you can, and in fact this mite be the only option, because it mite be difficult to find a t04b plate to suit super trim wheels.
