Thread: Disco Potato CHRA is MIA.

I purchased a new CHRA for my DP, as it was starting to show signs of age. However, when I pulled it apart I found more than I was expecting. Blades were missing some serious metal from I don't know what. I purchased the thing used years ago, but I had no idea it looked this bad. I'm 99% sure this did not happen under my ownership. Exhaust housing has several hair line cracks also. Would you replace the housing??? You can see it is cracked on both sides of the opening heading up towards the bolt hole. A new housing is $230ish!!!



Check out the turbine!!!


Here is the new CHRA

You still made boost with that?!

18psi all day long!!

damn nice carnage, how much did the new chra run you

$520

you need to replace the turbine housing. I usually on find cracks in the turbine housing around the waste gate port. I would also look for the source of the damage on the turbine blades.

i thought dbb were non rebuildable?

You are right. Had to buy new CHRA I'm afraid.

looks like that old CHRA swallowed a plug electrode.

What would a hairline crack in the turbine housing around the wastegate flap cause? Jen's turbo had a small crack there and I recommended he replace the housing, but I don't know how serious the crack really is. He doesn't have any boost issues...
