How does my turbo look?

If it doesn't look like my original HY35, I wouldn't worry about it....

 

This was still fully functional when I replaced it BTW.

Now that I'm at home and can see this on a normal monitor. The compressor wheel got trashed. Looks kind of like when I fed my turbo a hose clamp. The bearings are for sure shot you can see where the compressor wheel made contact. Oil is the other thing there is a lot of engine oil another sign of bearing failure.

Is the brown color of the housing from the turbo getting too hot?  My OEM turbo was kind of brown, been that way since I got it so I assumed it was normal.  New turbo is nice and silver, still looks new. 

 

I always let mine cool down now, saw what happens when you don't in my last turbo.  I only put 45k miles on it, don't know how the PO did things.

What BHAF are you using? They aren’t all created equal. I always had good luck with wix/Napa and oil samples proved they did their job. I got a Donaldson or Baldwin one time and it didn’t have the internal cage like the wix/Napa and just didn’t seem to be made as well. I also use a 4” sleeve of plumbing inside the lip.
