So I got my used H1C turbo in from e-bay. The ad said no shaft play, and it all looks good except a couple of 'minor'
issues... 1:The boss that the oil return line screws into is snapped off on one side!!, 2: There is oil seepage in the area were the compressor housing bolts to its backing plate. (I am not sure of the correct nomenclature for these parts)
I planned to swap the middle secion of the turbo assembly (the part where the oil feed and return lines attach) between the two turbos. Is this possible, or would it be easier to weld /drill/tap a new screw hole on the oil return boss? I am not able to budge the bolts holding the exhaust housing to the middle section on my stock turbo.
Also, inspection of the stock turbo reveals considerable oil caking on the entire internal compressor side, and some 'chuncks' missing from the outer radius of the compressor itself, between the vanes.
I would like to install a rebuild kit on the eventual turbo I will be using, due to the fact both turbos have questionable oil deposits.
I will try to furnish pics, but my digi is down for the moment...
