Radial clearances N and R 
8.5 
 
 
These are the theoretical values of the radial clearance between the 
compressor wheel and the wall insert and / or turbine wheel and the gas 
outlet flange. 
The minimum and maximum values result from the manufacturing 
tolerances of the compressor wheel and turbine wheel or the wall insert 
and gas outlet flange. 
 
 
 
 
N1 and N2 as well as R1 and R2 are 
each measured at the same time using 
two feeler gauges.  
To measure N1 and N2, the feeler 
gauges must be pushed between the wall 
insert and the compressor wheel free of 
play, in each case above and below. 
To measure R1 and R2, the feeler 
gauges must be pushed between the gas 
outlet flange and the turbine free of play, 
in each case above and below.
