  1. Hi Peter, it was poor quality right from the start new out the box. The wastegate penny wasn't spot welded to the wastegate shaft properly, it all looked fine when fitted, but as soon as Andy Forrest put some boost through it when mapping it, it moved about on the shaft and wouldn't hold anymore that 0.5 bar. So it all had to be stripped down again.

    Closed as normal

    Then move it about with your fingers along the shaft and open it

    That was 3 years ago, but now and only 8000 miles later the exhaust housing has cracked, so its off with it again when I get a few hours to spare.

    Planning on getting in touch with them, but going by their customer service with the wastegate and a never ending list of excuse from supplier problems to material problems, when in reality they sent out a turbo with zero quality control checks, I wont hold my breath.

    I also spoke to Owen Developments who can supply an inconel housing that will fit this turbo, so I'll look at all options. Fingers crossed.

    That's crap customer service mate.

    Owen do some nice work.

    So does cr turbos.

    Best of luck on your next choice
