should this turbo be used?
I have an install going on in my garage right now and the parts finally showed up. But the turbo came with this small dent. It is the last VF-34 that gruppe-s has and his car has been ripped apart in my garage for 5 days now. Should I install this turbo? (BTW I have told him about it already. I just want other opinions)

there is no shaft play. But I know what you're saying. The impact could only have been so bad though as the overall size of the box it was packed in was about 20x20x18. It was in it's own box and then inside a big box with an uppipe.

I can see the pics
 I probably would install it, but I'd be wary about internal stuff like Eric said.. btw are you wearing an apron there Byron?

I can't see the pic, either. If there was enough impact to cause a dent in the housing, I would assume there was enough impact to possibly cause issues within the unit itself. Without disassembly/reassembly it's a coin flip. I'd leave it up to the customer.

I wouldnt. In the second pic you can see a crack on the outer most housing. and if you try to fix it, more than likely your going to break that piece off. But you can always give it a test run and just see how it does.

No. Who knows the internal damage? Moai can work up some fancy calculations regarding how the air is going to be altered with that dent too.
