your turbo is done steve and was sent out today unfortunately it was sent to me
there was a problem with the old comp wheel and housing and could explain the missing ponies

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
