Just following up on this. The turbo has been rebuilt, a new compressor wheel installed and is on it's way back to Eric now. I just wanted to mention that though this issue was probably caused by negligence on my part, the throttle body was sent out 6 years ago. It's a bad deal that this turbo was damaged but due diligence would have discovered this problem before it got to this point. I think Eric understands that and I'm sure he won't take it personally that I'm bringing it up here.
It's just a heads up saying people need to do their own checks on the parts they install on their cars.
Thanks, Steve

I will be using your services in the future. Hopefully soon! If it weren't for this thread I wouldn't know someone actually did the work on these throttle bodies.

You're awesome Steve! You went way beyond what a typical vendor would have done and just think you're the best.

Can't wait to get the turbo back on the car. It was also great information to know it's not a TA-63, but had a 61mm compressor wheel instead. Still a really good turbo for my car.

Thanks a million!
Eric

How is the snorkel welded up? Was this factory or something during the rebuild? also very good customer service way after the fact, impressed.

 

[esinger]

It's not factory, just a stock intake adapter cut and welded onto a TA housing. Very common practice when running upgraded turbos.
