View Full Version : Sticky Turbo

Well I'm in the middle of my SR swap today and I finally get the manifold/turbo off. I try and spin the compressor wheel with my finger but I can't budge it. So I unbolt the exhaust elbow so I can get a socket on the turbine wheel. The turbo spins rather "easily" with the rachet, and resistance is even for the whole 360 spin. There seems to be a film of "gunk" (seems like oil and dust mixed together) on the compressor side.

Does this necessarily mean my turbo is bad?:confused:
Thanks,
GoodJuan
