What is the turbo compressor wheel?

The spinny thingy in the turbo that compresses the air... :tttt:

Just jokes. But seriously. Pull of the intake tube and its the first thing you see inside the turbo. :c:

WTS light comes on whether the glow plugs are on or not. In the winter the glow plugs can stay on for 45 seconds or more, summer, they may not come on at all.

Compressor wheel is inside the intake you can see it here...

Check the turbo up pipes...

The turbo is removed in this picture. The blue arrow is where the turbo bolts to the exhaust. The red circle is very badly leaking up pipes. This will lead to low boost numbers, High EGT's and low power.
