Chips on EFR compressor wheel.



This is a BorgWarner EFR 7163 Turbo. It looks as if the compressor wheel has come in contact with something that it shouldn’t have.
There is absolutely no shaft play at all. No marks on the compressor cover, or turbine housing. It’s my understanding that BorgWarner doesn’t offer rebuild services on these, instead you just buy a replacement supercore. So will it be ok to send this as is, or is time for a new supercore?

Looks like some dust got sucked in and is probably stuck in your intercooler somewhere. Turbo should run fine.

Kit was purchased second hand. This will be paired with a new VRSF intercooler.

M10x1.25 if I recall correctly. It’s been on the stand for a few months untouched.
