Help! Major problem with Turbo?
I was changing the glow plugs, had the intake off, and noticed this on the turbo compressor. Is it toast? Looks to me like there should be a nut on the shaft, is it missing? And where did it go???!!!
I was wondering if it's OK to put a new nut on here to keep it rolling while I finance a new turbo....

Ouch!!! Looks like you'll be needing a new wheel. From what I can tell (your picture is kinda blurry) it looks normal, besides the tore-up turbo fins. Doesn't look like you are missing any nuts or anything,
What year of truck do you have? Maybe look into a Wicked Wheel, they are around $50 and will replace your intake impeller. I'd tear other parts down, to the intercooler, see if you can find something in there, if something when through it or what happened. It's kinda confusing, cuz only your front fins are tore up, but not the "secondary". Has your intake and filter been leaking? Might want to consider a different one as well. Good luck!

Farmb0y, thanks. I updated the pic with a clearer one. I was concerned that the wheel might be missing a part - a nut missing, etc. I need to run the truck this week before I will have a chance to replace the wheel.timo
