Here's the deal, I have a Garrett turbo that looked to be rebuilt. Spun freely, solid shaft no in and out play. Installed turbo, Primed for 10-15 sec x 2. Started right up let the car reach operating temperature, heard a strange sound coming from intake.
immediatly noticed the turbo is binding up, not sure what went wrong. Could it have something to do with me clocking the compressor cover to mate with the lower icp? I didn't think to check if the shaft was free spinning after that...
What a bummer, Is it pretty much guaranteed the turbo is shot once it binds? I've never had this issue before, possible whoever rebuilt the turbo didn't do something right..
