Turbo exhaust outlet

[Philip]

Replaced the turbo to exhaust flange gasket today due to an exhaust leak. Flange had some slight corrosion but turbo is otherwise clean. I suspect Pre sale washing engine allowed water into an already leaking gasket only making things worse. Detailed flange with a file and installed a graphite gasket.

Turbo blades look good to my eye but posting for any comments. The debris in the picture was from disassembly and carefully vacuumed prior to reassembly.

In one picture I noted some interesting blade gaps…. thoughts?

Thanks

Maybe even a little parallax effect with the angle of the camera vs. the subject. Nice “clear” turbo photo – those are not easy to come by!

Good news…

Thanks Tony!

Your turbo blades clearance is 100% fine.. Realize that the busing type bearing(s) that support the turbo shaft are “full floating”, meaning that they turn with the shafts as required and have oil clearance all around.. What that means is that what “static clearances ” you an feel have quite a bit of radial play in them.. In your pic, the turbine is laying to one side of that “designed” clearance, or it just the light in the pic, or a combo…. ..

All looks good to me..
