Broken drive blades
#3
Stripped a little further and took these photos. It looks like the free play is very excessive, so i would suggest the blades have hit the housing. Here are pics of the bare impella and the housing. Hard to tell if the marks on the housing are from the blades hitting it, or when they blew apart.

   

   

Would it be just the case of a worn out turbo? It was supposed the be a reco unit just before i bought it, but you never know do ya.!

At least it is only the turbo - probably the cheapest part of the build. I will source another and fit up. Pi_thumbsup

As i just wrote - the free play is way out, so i suggest the bearings have Shite, and hit the housing.. See pics above.

Whaddya rekon.. :)
