088 ATS turbo
|
Does anyone know what turbo type the ATS 088 uses? I have heard is the garret T4 (T04B), But there is precious little info in the web as to the exact model number of the turbocharger itself.
The reason I ask, is becuause in a different thread, the topic came up that a slightly damaged compressor blade could throw off the balance of the turbo, and I have noticed at shutdown, the compressor tends to start a slight wobble as it slows to a stop, so it could be loosing some energy to a misbalance. There are some nicks on the compressor wheel, and with a micrometer, I discovered that at least one blade was slightly bent.
I'm thinking it might be worth getting an overhaul kit as well as a new compressor wheel, but I don't know where to start for the model type itself.
