Inspect a VF39 I picked up on Nasioc
Need expert advice,..
Anyone have the time over the weekend to look at a VF39 I picked up on Nasioc?
Has 40k miles on it with a really small (just started) crack on wastegate side. Some play on the inlet wheel side but not sure how much play is considered as bad, exhaust side has no play and both sides spin freely. I asked for pictures before it was mailed out and it looks like it was in the pictures but was told no shaft play. Just got it in the mail today so not sure what to make of it.
Pm me to where i can meet you or to set up a meet as would like to know if i can put this on my fxt.

Shaft play causes the wheel to contact the inlet walls. If the wheel and wall looks like they're in good condition, the turbo is probably good.
All VF39's crack at the waste gate, it doesn't hurt performance at all, don't worry about it.

Thanks for the info,..shaft moves a little on the compressor side, but read it should a little. There are no damaged fins, spin freely, and no marks on the housing. Hope all goes well after the install.

Don't worry about it. You'll probably be looking for an upgrade before that one blows up anyway. Vf39 is good but the XT is much happier with a bit more turbo. Took me a few months to get bored with mine.
