compressor wheel stuck on stripped
I used my dewalt 1/2" impact.on highest setting thing would not come loose. i heated the nut part and it was moving but still tight .it must be stripped because it wont come off but still tight as heck. Should i cut it off or try to use small ,2 jaw puller?

I’m a 38r hater though…
I’d use the opportunity to do a KC balanced assembly in a stock turbo.

Why you hate?
KC xenter section for the 38r is non ball bearing. makes no sense since.that's the hype of a 38r and lets it spool up.quick. iI took it apart because it rotated with no drag .I thought maybe the shaft snapped because it turned so quiet and smooth like it had " ball bearings" something was not right in there. .

I did not realize the replacement KC center section was journal bearing. Actually went to their website to check it out. You’re absolutely correct. Strange. But also may say something about the durability (or lack thereof) of the ball bearing design.
So you took it apart because it had no play and turned freely? Yikes!

Reverse-rotation turbochargers like our 7.3s use stock or with drop-ins will have right hand threads as the concept is similar to cooling fans: normal operation will attempt to tighten the nut. Standard-rotation turbos like any of the T-x variants will be left hand threads.
Most electric impacts and the like do not accelerate quickly enough to unscrew a compressor wheel from the stationary turbine shaft as only air-operated ones can. The stock turbocharger compressor wheels are 15mm but many of the aftermarket ones will be something else and some even come with separate nuts.

I hate because it is insanely loud and too laggy for my tastes. I ran one for years with an open 6637 filter it was ear piercing. It wanted to be ran at higher rpm and pushed me to tow faster than I wanted since that’s where it worked. I was so happy after I finally got fed up and reinstalled the original turbo with a Riffraff billet wheel. Spooled so much better, power band more in my range, and didn’t scream. If I’d have used the KC 300x turbine too then probably would have never went to the T4 setup I have now. This is my personal take on it. Some folks love, others do not.

for a diesal turbo maybe... for a gasoline engine they can be (if the turbine and compressor are properly matched) be the cats meow... for a diesal and a diesals low EGT... i would think its a waste of time, but I have not experimented with it yet.
