ValWondering what you lot thought of this, I found a T16 on a scrapper with a straight outlet to swap for my 15G, on inspection theres a chunk out of one of the turbine blades leading edges (ive tried taking pics as best i could) what do we think chaps? Is it worth a rebuild? Dont think its worth fitting this if its not 100%. If I wanted to get it rebuild can anybody recommend anywhere????? And can I do anything else with a T16 (Not like a door stop or book end)

there are a whole load of other considerations other than the damaged blade. What about play in the shaft. I guess if you are having the whole thing redone then a replacement compressor is just one of many jobs.
