16g turbos

[highrever]

Hi guys. I was windering if these mitsubishi turbos are actually really that good .
My small 16g turbo this weekend kind of fell apart on me. It looks like something hit the compressor wheel and damaged it or one of the blades came loose and destroyed the rest. So my question is are these really that great of a turbo. Checked the bearings and they seemed fine but it was making the dentist drill noise before i took it off. So should i rebuild the whole thing or just get a new compressor wheel

Was it a real mhi 16g? You could have sucked something in.

A real MHI 16g is a very good turbo. Please tell me you had an air filter in the car...

you must have sucked something in bro like the above said...mhi genuine are really really good turbos, good enough for 300-350whp goals, on the 16g.

If the compressor wheel made contact with the compressor housing, chances are you'll need to replace that as well (compressor housing). Your turbine shaft may also be damaged due to the force that was acting on it when the compressor wheel made contact with the inner compressor walls. Pictures here would help check the way to go as it's hard to say anything without actually seeing the damage.

Other than that 16g turbos are great turbos

Remember that turbochargers can accelerate upwards of 150,000 rpm, so the slightest rock chip, touch would mean catastrophic failure. IMO, instead of looking for a new compressor wheel, rebuild kit, and balance, I would sell that s16g as a whole on tuners, and pick up a completely rebuilt one with 0 miles for $300.

So.....something entered the turbo and destroyed the compressor wheel, and you seem as if to blame the turbo? Isn't that like driving a car around with no oil in it then badmouthing the manufacturer when it blows up?

Wow, I didnt get that as badmouthing anything...Just sounds like a reasonable question. Maybe one of the blades broke off due to a manufacturing defect?
