ahh I get it the manifold was meant to have an external wastegate, but the turbo is internally wastegated so he welded the hole shut. Did you check that for shaft play. I don't know my setup is ghetto but damn that is terrible.

Try spinning it and see if the ends wobble - the blades could scrape the housing. The one I picked up does that... but it is soon to have a new center section...

Aren't there special machines that measure a turbo's integrity?
