Wow, how does that happen? You would have to use it to vacuum sand I would imagine, even my compressor wheel being let free at over 200,000 rpm doesn't look that bad...

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
So it's got a little shaft play, who cares, run it!!!
I love the fact that he never once says anything about it needing a rebuild or that it has a problem. But I guess if you're looking at it, you should now better.

Yeah, I'm surprised he got 80k miles out of it. Probably lost the fins at 50k and didn't notice any real power difference.

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
K03's and k04's usually only last 80k-100k either way. Less fins, less resistance/rotating mass right?
