here is the turbo I bought a while back that is on there right now that I haven't been able to get it to spool.

and here is what a stock turbo for s4 looks like, notice how both the "upgraded" ones have thinned intake walls compared to the stock one.

It's upgraded. It looks like the intake housing has been machined wider to accept the fins.
I would try and figure out from the previous owner what type of upgrade it was.
Also you might need to upgrade your fuel to go with this turbo. 720's secondaries and a SAFC.

no idea as to why it wouldn't spool, the bearings look ok as the ends of the fins aren't bent up along the compressor housing edge or anything. Must be something wrong with it on the exhaust side.
Or some other prob.. Intake leak? who knows.. could be anything.

ok thanks guys. I already had 720 secondaries and upgraded fuel pump, safc, tid mod, hks intake, and msd ignition but this thing still won't spin. Dont' know what as soon as I put this other one on and it works I'm going to get rid of theat other turbo for cheap! if anyone is interested.

I'm guessing it will cause a boost/vac leak.
Sorry for the semi hijack.

It's the hose for the wastegate actuator! If you don't have that hooked up to your wastegate you will overboost to buggery... like hello 20psi.
So, in short, you should really connect it up.
Unless you have your wastegate actuator getting its signal from elsewhere for some reason? but that is the 'best' spot for it.

no it spins fine and no shaft play just for some reason won't spool up in my car. If I have the same problem with the new turbo its got to be something else but I think that its the turbo. I changed all gaskets vac hoses, etc... it still won't boost.
