Hold on guy.. answer the question before you do ANYTHING else. Why did your compressor wheel get damaged in the first place? Did you physically hit it or have something get sucked into the turbo? If not your turbo NEEDS to rebuilt. If the wheel did not get damaged from the above mentioned, the bearings are shot and it has enough axial play that the wheel spun into the compressor housing. The same thing is going to happen on your new wheel. You will not be fixing anything, it will not just magically get better, and could ruin your turbo housing and engine!

hehe yea. not new to turbos. it was from something that most probably got sucked in. never figured out what it could be though. this time im gonna check everything in the intake. clean it out and then put it on.
the turbo has almost no shaft play.
