Lly or lbz turbo

[05dmaxlly]

So I pulled my turbo apart today and found it has a 360 thrust bearing in it. Did some turbos come that way?
And I was wondering if you guys were bead blasting the center housing? I have access to one and a hot tank but I'm worried about the sand getting in where I can't get it out.

Mine came with a 360 degree thrust bearing in it.

So I put all the parts in a parts cleaner and found some heat spots on the thrust bearing. But only in one spot on the collar. Possibly have a bent turbine shaft? Posted a picture not sure if it will work

Buy a bearing kit and a 10 blade turbine and a 4094 va turbine wheel and have your cover honed out. Same performance as a drop in and a 1/4 of price

finally got the wetzel and rebuild kit, sending that out to midwest for balancing.

polished the compressor housings

noticed while i was washing/blowing off the compressor housing that when you blow around the inlet you can see water blowing out of this seem inside the turbo. you can se the seem in this pic. is this normal or am i just paranoid

What size wetzel? Are you doing vanes and 10 blade turbine too?

its the drop in wheel for lly

so i finished it a couple weeks ago just haven't gotten on here. i ended up using a 10 blade after all since i thought my stock shaft was bent. its not to bad but is a little annoying when its at the sweet spot or next to a wall. also port matched the up pipes and the turbine housing. so far runs good.
