evidence of compressor wheel rub
on the comp housing
you now have the billet comp wheel and revised comp housing
the billet wheel is 14g lighter
we are currently working on a t39 which will utilise a larger turbine housing but with the same size turbine wheel

so with your big size 12 hands how many microns were you able to measure
I think you'll find that the comp wheel rotating at 80,000 rpm and air temps of 190 degrees c and 2.1 bar of pressure may make your measuring system some what redundant
