    Hi guys,
    I have an issue with my turbo and like some help if someone knows. I removed my compressor housing and I accidentaly hit the blade and they bent a little. When i tried to straighten them it chopped of. Will this cause me an issue on turbo efficiency or will it affect the balancing?

    Regards, Thomas

    I know its too late but. I never ever remove the housings from my reliable daily driver turbos. If I need a different turbo I buy a different turbo. Its not worth the risk to me. Many people will say 'its fine' but I think you learned the hard way it isn't always just fine.
