[MR2] MKII Strange Noise

[Joseph Obernberger]

That's odd.  The compressor and turbine wheels are attached on a common 
shaft.  They should not move independently.  Perhaps just the bearings 
on the turbine side are bad?

I pulled it off of the car tonight, and it is the turbine wheel that was making all of that racket.  It has a ton of play in it.  It feels like it is about to fall out.  The compressor wheel feels normal though.  I suppose I don't quite understand how the turbo is put together because I thought the compressor and turbine would show the same amount of play.  I guess the turbine wheel is able to move independently?  I'm going to give ATS a call in the morning to see what kind of options I have.   BryanFrom: dkchal at datasync.com
