About the turbine wheel, most people think they can just look at it from the dp hole and see if its ok. Thats why I mentioned it, I just wanted to make sure you knew you had to remove the turbine wheel completely from the housing to be able to tell if there is damage. I'm very suprised they didnt take out your wheel...they took at least one of mine out every time.
I just noticed the T51KAI in your sig, it has a much bigger and stronger wheel than twins, thats prob why those weak Hurley's didnt break it lol
BTW - How much power you making with that turbo at those boost levels???

I've never had a turbine damamged. I've had the Apex Isamu, Greddy T88 and now the HKS T51R KAI and have never had a problem.
Anyways Hurleys are trash.

I had some turbine damage on my RX6 when I bought it, but it wasn't evident until I removed the turbine housing. It looked perfect from the outside, but I was talking to Ray at SR and he suggested removing the housing to take a look. Sure enough, there were little chunks out of the ends of the blades. I called a bunch of turbo shops, and TEC was the only one that would even look at my injured RX6. I sent it in and they trimmed the damage from the turbine and rebalanced the rotating assembly for a very fair price.

They can't do full service on it, since no one in the U.S. can get parts for it. But they were able to trim the damage from my wheel and rebalance it. I was very happy with the way they handled everything.

Sorry guys, there's still something fishy in this thread and it's not on this end ... I checked and there's nothing fishy under my nose, I know this to be true since my wife has been pg for about 5 months now. I'll light a few scented candles for this thread ...
