Is my turbo blown or worse?

How do you get the second nut loose?

[Chezedik]

What second nut? I didn't, I assumed it was part of the shaft, since the wheel and shaft sell as one piece from Garrett. But I didn't take it apart, didn't need to. Just set it in the dip.

Nut on compressor, nut on turbine. Which one comes off first? How do you remove the other?

[Chezedik]

The one on the compressor comes of, not on the turbine. It looks to be one piece. I just put a 9/16" (14mm) on the tubine side nut, on the compressor I used a 12 point 1/2" socket (12.7 - so avoid using 13 if you can help it). I torqued it back down to about 10 ft/lbs.

So how do you get the compressor wheel off?

[Chezedik]

I covered that. You use a wrench to keep the turbine wheel stationary, and a rachet on the compressor. When you turn them the opposite way, one will loosen. Be sure that you are turning the compressor to loosen it. You know, I could sell you my T3 .60 cover, and you could turn your T3/T4 back to a T3, and sell it on ebay, or I would be willing to trade compressors. But you will want to rebalance my T3. If you like, you can ship it to me, and I will rebuild it. Also, if you pay to have it done, I will balance the assembly (I will not personally do it, but I will take it somewhere, and will not charge any sort of fee.)
