Able to diagnose a turbo failure without seeing it/the car/knowing the rest of the setup etc?
Where were you when I was chasing the issues that lead me to pulling it down and finding the problem. I could have used your magical diagnostic powers lol ;D
The question about the billet wheel was just that, a question, I've heard/read various shit about them so asked the question as an option. If there was an identical shweel size that was lighter and would spool faster for a few bucks more, sure I'd look at it. Can't learn about the pros and cons without having a discussion though, I think some of the people on here forget this is a forum sometimes.
Stealthiness/defect issue/RWC when selling later/cost are all factors.I am not buying new units, I found some mint ones for less than the price of 1 new one. New ones are 2400 for a pair as it is, the cheapest single kit is, what, 4k new? For a journal bearing 6262 that then needs more fab work and aooarently has shit response anyway.
Second hand manifold and single always an option, but still not as cheap as the pair of -9s I grabbed which will get me the result I wanted. To be honest, I'm tired of throwing heaps of money at it so a cheaper/faster option was desirable for me. Nobody else has to like it, it's not their car
Not detuning to 300kw either, crazy talk.
