SAW BLADE
So i took a look at the turbo on my grandfather’s truck and it’s about what i expected. The old owners had tried to patch a hole in the busted intake box with duct tape that had long out lived its days, The air filter was destroyed, the intake boot to the turbo had a huge tear in it. And on top of that after sitting for 4 years they decided to pull the air tube off of the filter and spray starting fluid down in her and just left the intake box unhooked
. Any way the damage doesn’t look too bad but i wanted to post the best pics i could get to see what you guys think.

Those little iddy biddy chips are not going to cause much stress unless your really spooling that thing up.
If you want to get some more power out of it later, think about a new compressor wheel, or just a turbo upgrade in general.
The main thing is if it doesn't make any housing contact, your good.
