I recently installed an aluminum Turbo inlet on my stock turbo. While inspecting the turbo visually, I noticed 2 of the blades were bent at the edges. They looked totally different from the smooth bends of the other blades. I am wondereing, did my turbo eat something? Or is this normal? It sure doesn't look like it is supposed to be like this, but then again, I am a rookie. Any help appreciated.
 
Ttt

does anyone have a stock turbo they could look at? do all the fins look the same? I am a bit concerned that I may have to upgrade :cool: my turbo sooner than I wanted to. anyone got a stocker laying around they could look at?
 
bent vanes

I have a stock turbo that maybe two of the vanes are bent slightly at the tip in the opposite direction of the normal curvature. I don't know if this is damage or inperfections in the stock wheels. It has no signs of damage. Just two or three that aren't perfect.
 
That seems to be exactly how mine is. 2 of the blades are bent at the tips in the opposite direction of the others. Is this normal?
