Turbo questions

[takeshif941]

Hey guys im building up my KA-T. This is my first turbo build but i do work on my NA ka24de so im not blind when it comes to mechanical functioning things. So my question is, The turbo I bought was a turbonetic t3/t4 Hybrid. When I received it in the mail, it had a broken lug lodged in the exhaust output side. I contacted the seller and he claimed that turbos this big come with a side like that but from my knowledge any lose flanges will just result in leaks; regardless of what it would be. Is he feeding me proper info, everything ive seen and read online doesnt come with a lug lodged in the turbo.

Why is it that you don't take it to a mechanic and ask? As opposed to posting a thread asking random people who may or may not know?

I mean just reading what you wrote, "It had a broken lug lodged in the exhaust output side." No, that doesn't sound right. Should a broken lug be logged in the housing? Really?

Or better yet why don't you post a picture?

Been busy with a lot of hw, midterms are coming around, which are heavily time consuming to go to a shop, plus I figure it doesn't hurt to ask before I crack open my wallet for a 20 min inspection.

A broken lug lodged in the exhaust output side?

What does that even mean?

I think he means there is a stud in the turbo on the turbine outlet haha.

im trying to upload a picture right now but it says its too large, but you know where the turbo meets with the elbow, which goes to the down pipe? well there is a bolt stuck inside the turbo that connects to the elbow? I'm pretty sure its not supposed to be like this but id just like to verify.

[takeshif941]

yes, thank you lolI think he means there is a stud in the turbo on the turbine outlet haha.

[takeshif941]

the reason why i think this is all bs is, i can see where he tried to drill out the stud to remove it.

[takeshif941]

the left side is the part that im concerned about.

[di-devol]

Oh, I see haha.

That's not supposed to be "broke off" in there, no.

Just extract it and call it a day.

[takeshif941]

Get an extractor and remove the broken stud.
