I just took my intake apart to look at my turbo and I discoverd some stuff. There is a couple of nicks on the commpressor wheel, there is a little bit of shaft play I dont think its all that bad, my EGTs have been getting a little bit hotter but my boost has gone down and wont hit more then 22psi on my 140HP setting. What turbo do you all reccomend for the price. I dont tow anything anymore and if I was to it would be more then 6 or 7K. I just want something that I wont have to worry about the EGTs out here in the 120 degree heat. Any Help?

it's most likely NOT a couple of nicks on the turbo making EGT's hotter & boost lower...

it's probably exhaust leaks at the up pipes and/or exhaust manifolds.

I checked that ou and I didnt see any soot anywhere on the fire wall. I dont have any boost leaks anywhere. Im going to say its the turbo still 140K with about 90 or 100K was towing and some of which was very heavy.

a couple of nicks on the intake side may mean some more hefty nicks or worn blades/contact on the exhaust side.

What kind of turbos do you all suggest. I want an H2E but there a bit costly.
