The base problem was the turbo actuator arms. I could have just done the turbos but opted to do all supporting hardware at the same time to really future proof the car for me. But yeah, wont be much change from $6k.
Well, I do turn bearing housings, shafts and wheels on special orders, so you can order any wheel sizing preferred. Parts came from every where obviously, came from reconditioning turbos and been shafted, I know exactly where certain manufactures would stuff up. It sounds like I'm just assembling cores, but importance is I get to check if all parts are made to specs, if castings are right, all clearances and runout are right, balanced ok, bearing pack sounds before passing onto clients. Building test cars, doing dyno testing and sponsoring drift cars is all parts of QC, so I get to know how a particular package performs before selling.
Yep, its slow and ineffective way of production, but I prefer less headaches.
