Message: [QUOTE="1ofakind79, post: 678404, member: 9507"] I sent Bob some pictures. But I doubt he will do anything about it. Nothing against him But I messed up that wheel when I put it on. I checked fit first and noticed that gap. I talked to Bob and he said a gap towards the top was normal. Thats where things went downhill. I put the wheel on. The bore fit nice. But as I tightened it it ruined the treads in the wheel. Before anyone asks I was doing it by hand and holding the wheel on the back of the turbo too. Looking back now the treads were ruined probally because they were reverse from my turbo. After having already ruined the wheel I trimmed the edge off the nut and loctited a nut on the end to hold the wheel on it. And put everything together. I contacted Bob about an hour ago after Charles noticed the rotation. I didn't notice it. The box was correct and the wheel said 38r on it so I assumed it was correct. Anyway. If Bob decides to do something about it great if not I'm the one who ruined the wheel. I mainly contacted him so that he is aware of the problem before someone else spends hours pulling thier hair out trying to figure out why their truck only builds 7 lbs of boost. [/QUOTE]
