I recently purchased a CT-26 57 trim turbo, however it went through hell during shipping. It showed up in a really banged up box.
Obvious things: coolant lines bent, actuator housing bent (one bolt appears to have been stripped right out of the aluminum)
Only protection I have found are plugged holes on the turbo, a plastic bag, and a couple crushed up packing peanuts. The seller says there were more peanuts so likely the package tore open. It could be negligent packaging or negligent shipping, or both.
Should I be concerned if this turbo is still good? Can a CT-26 turbo handle this kind of abuse? I can change the coolant line and actuator, plus repair the bolt.
Thanks for any input
