mikeyh Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 this might be a very stupid question but when blades are missing off of a turbo charger are they unusable or will they just not be very good there is a blade broken on the shaft nearest to the exhaust manifold.

JohnA Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Unusable mate. Needs total rehaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 It'll be out of balance, and will soon lead to a knackered shaft/bearing. It will still drive....but you need to find a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Dangerous to use, if the impeller shatters, which it probably will, the remnaants CAN get drwn into the engine. Very common on Sylines, circa 7k bill.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
