turbos

hello again i have a spare turbo as i was inspecting the turbo i took off the exhaust housing and accidentally let the housing hit one blade of the exhaust it bent the corner slightly. so i straightened the blade. my question is will the turbo grenade on me if it got bent? i am rebuilding the turbo with a 1.0 ar turbine housing to go with stage ones is there anything i need to keep an eye out for? thanks

Unless the fin is mangled i dont think you'll have anything to worry about. You could always get a wicked wheel or something, but i doubt thats necessary from what you described.

I wouldn't use it. It is most likely thrown out of balance.

The turbine wheel is on the exhaust side the wicked wheel (our stock wheel) is on the charge side

Unfortunately, people fall for it.

Makes me think that people would buy a pile of dog crap if you gave it some fancy name.

hehe.

I doubt there would be any issues with the exhaust side turbine.
Only time your gonna have issues like that is if you loose a piece of it due to breaking, then you'd have to have it re-balanced.
