So i made a "wise" decision and bought a t517z off ebay

. So it arrived today and low and behold its garbage, upon quick visual inspection theres a shit load of play not like the seller claimed "barely noticeable" then i turn it over and notice a hair line crack along the wastegate door seat. So at this point im thinking (ok maybe i can just rebuild since its not BB anyway and have the crack welded). So next i pop off the turbine snail and the fins on the backside of the turbine wheel look like someone took a f#$@ing hammer to them. Does anyone know where i can buy a new exhaust side turbine wheel because the only ones ive seem are the compressor side or the complete cartridge. Or marbe a doner turbo whose wheel might fit?

that sucks. you can file a dispute with ebay stating the item was not as described-they can suspend the seller's account until they refund your money if all else fails

You may want to contact gpopshop.com, I know they rebuild mitsubishi turbos, so they may know a place where you can pick up a new wheel. Or just send the turbo into them, and see if its even worth it.

linky link.

Contact Us

edit:

Thought I'd add a spec sheet for the turbo (down towards the bottom.)

well ebay may of screwed you over with the wheel, but it may save your ass.
