Evo II turbo won't hold past 16PSI! I think I found why PICS INSIDE!

So a fellow DSM'er sold me an evo 2 turbo for pretty cheap so I wasn't expecting it to be in the best shape ever. In an old thread I posted a couple days ago I showed how I ported my old big16g turbine housing outlet to match the 2.5". For the past couple of months I've been trying to get this Evo 2 turbo to boost higher than 16 lbs(buddy did 22 on it before) but I tried everything to see if it would change i.e. Different WGA's, ran WGA open nipple to atm., boost leak tests (fixed), engine is recently rebuilt. Everything was FINE! So I figured my WG flapper was the culprit. Well after inspecting both my old big16g(which I think I'll be using now) and my evo 2 turbo turbine wheels this is what I get. Enjoy.

YUM! So I figured how the whole porting your turbine side(old thread I posted) too much and there velocity of the air could not be compressed enough, well how bout some nice chopped up turbine blades for you? haha Cheers

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah well the guy that sold me the turbo's a good guy I don't blame him but yeah kinda outrageous to find the turbo like that. Putting on that big16g in tonight. Hopefully it'll feel GRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrreat again. haha
