Hi all,

Here is some information on the turbocharger internals that CNK Performanec manufacture - the picture below shows a 360 thrust washer kit complete with 360 thrust washer, titanium retainer and stainless steel screws - an Allen key is also included to allo you to bolt down the thrust washer:- The purpose of a 360 degree thrust wahser is to allow more area for the compressor wheel to thrust against under boost. The conventional thrust washer supplied in all standard turbochargers is a 270 dgeree thrust collar, offering on ly 270 degrees of material for the compressor wheel to thrust against. Look at the middle of the washer and you will see that the surface area around the center hole (where the turbine shaft fits through) has 360 degrees of area provided for thrust. (it's a perfect circle with no breaks)

send me the picture.

I'll see if I can't post it

 

 

chris.....I was wondering,

Was I supposed to get that with my turbocharger as well?

After looking in my box, before I sent it to my shop, I didn't see that particular part with it.

 

Maier --

OFCOURSE you got that in your turbohcarger --- I do not sell turbocharger without my 360 thrust washer upgrade. Why you didn;t see it in the box was because I instealled into the turbo for you --- so that you wouldn't have 20 tiny pieces in the box that could get lost --- also the turbocharger is one piece and not broken up.
