My F12X was only running about 30 mph max. I read here it might be my turbo. So, I pulled the turbo out (and my BACK HURTS!!!). I can turn the turbo with my hand, but I cannot spin it. It is not hard to turn, but if I try to spin it, it doesn't spin freely at all. Do I need a new turbo? Is it the bearings? Can I just replace the bearings? I have not torn it down further than the pic you see. Do I need to tear it down further?
Thanks for any help,
Greg

Honda Turbo woes

Check your waste gate and actuator rod for corrosion which will affect performance by the waste gate sticking open or shut. Look up I guy on here "JRINJAX" he is the resident Honda expert. Good luck ....
