Isn't a .57 trim from drift motion is it? Also too much play I suspect?

It's a stock wheel and looks like it will need to be replaced down the road. Is it scraping the housing or leaking any oil? If it boosts fine and doesn't scrape or leak then it should be good to go until it dies. I just received DM's upgrade... it has the 57 trim wheel. Typically, a 57 trim wheel is a 6 blade wheel and has an inducer size of 2.23" in a T04E.

I'm just pissed I was told it was a 57 trim drift motion. I was told a few things dishonest about the car. So now where to go from here? I had planned on 400+.whp Supposedly built motor. Pulling valve covers to make sure it has the arp studs it's supposed to have.

Being pissed off doesnt really help anything. On the other hand people suck and they are dishonest. It happens all the time. Make sure next time you see receipts or proof of the build.

As long as the wheel isnt scraping the housing a little bit of play is fine. Going to need to be replaced but you should have some time.

Well since I don't have the AFM or injectors I guess I'll skip the afm and go bigger injectors with maftpro. Might as well go t4 on the turbo as you can't really go much bigger than the ct26 57 and have it bolt right up. I just hate that the guy was totally dishonest.

I won't chance keeping that turbo going out on me. So I'll upgrade now.

A 60-1 wheel in a stock CT26 housing, yes.

I have a 60-1 turbonetics which is bolt-on, and there are the BOSS turbos which are also bolt-on, and I believe can be as large as you might want.

Not going into your intake. At the shop we have seen plenty of compressor wheels let go and im sure 99% of the metal got caught in the intercooler side tank. the 1% that makes it through isnt going to be damaging.

There's a big thing called an intercooler in the way... most of the time it catches all the crap.

Who uses Intercoolers now a days? Its all about running inline MAFs in your charge piping
