i had my 2510 rebuilt with a garrett cartridge and as close to 2530 spec garrett exhaust wheel.... (not by GCG) had nothing but trouble with noisy bearing sound, they claimed some garrett bearing packs were naturally noisy....sounds like a cop car siren when spooling up

2 cartridges in 3 months and the thing is still noisy as hell.....been 5months and still noisey but still makes good HP so i just gave up on sorting out the bearing whine.

let me know if you have better luck cos i might freight mine over to GCG next time round.

BTW it cost me $700 for rebuild including garrett bearing pack and another $300 for the exh turbine

what causes these things to die? has the turbo in question done loads of work or is it a tune or oil supply issue? I didnt expect to hear about GTRS rebuilds as they are a relatively new model; ie still plenty of many-years-old GT2530's still going hard and strong.

are these turbos designed to constantly and reliably run 1.3 - 1.5 bar all day everyday ...??

can a poor afr tune decrease their life?? like leaning out up top.... if so how?

I'm not sure what has caused this turbo to start blowing smoke. Unfortunately I was silly enough to purchase this second hand (off a forum member) - and I trusted him with the 'condition' of this turbo. Hopefully it is something as simple as the seals needing replacement - because the turbo had bugger all shaft play when I had it installed.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
