I just took off the compressor housing on my stock k03. Surprisingly, it is only held on by 4 bolts with a pretty low torque on them. I didnt expect that :p

There is some minor damage on the blades. Also, it appears there are some BURRS left from machining or more likely just damage. Can somebody who knows this turbo inside and out confirm this?! I also spotted a casting mistake.

Also, when I spin the wheels, there is a slight grinding noise. Something in the bearing maybe?

Below are 3 images. One has color coded circles to show you points of interest. The second is the same image without the circles. Third is the exhaust turbine. No damage, but discolored.

Here is the color code info:

Blue --> casting mistake
Green --> slight upturn on the tip of the fin
Red --> scraped fin. No damage found on housing.
Yellow --> possible burrs left from machining or just damage. very rough and sharp. this is very hard to photograph

Wow...you narrowly missed a visit from Turbo Lady on that one. The grinding is the early sign of bearing failure. I would think those compressor vanes were damaged by the housing when the bearing started to go out of tolerance.

Oh yea, forgot to mention that there is maybe 0.5mm or smaller amount of play in the shaft. It is a very very small amount. It also spins freely and with very little resistance. But it doesnt spin on its own for that long.

I hope my turbo doesn't look like that lol. Well, it'd be an excuse to go K04 or bigger, but yeah...

Runs great! Raced a VR6 12v corrado with a T3/T4 60 trim turbo and was ahead (he was just at my bumper) until about 100mph and then he just came out of nowhere and went right past me, haha

Not bad for a still tiny turbo!

I am still dialing in the boost.
