So i heard a tapping noise the past few days when the car was cold and it was building boost.
So today I'm driving and I hear the tapping in boost when the car is warmed up. I pulled off the greddy turbo inlet pipe to see my compressed wheel all chewed up. The housing also has small chips in it. I'm not sure if it's rebuildable as I remember hearing there were 2 diffirent types of turbos. Would it be a good idea to just get a new compressor wheel cause the turbo dosent have much shaft play and I don't burn any oil. Any suggestions on what to do?
