Point being? ^

These have a 12 month warranty, the idea of that is that if it breaks within 12 months you can get it replaced. Yours broke within two weeks, so you still had a little bit of time before the warranty expired.

point being if you want to keep changing it when it cracks and new gaskets and studs(maybe if your unlucky), i did change it over once then removed it for a different one

A gasket can be used more than once you know.

You got unlucky. They are alot better than they used to be.

I had one on my R33 that was regularly tracked, and daily driven. No problems with mine at all. Bar the initial boost creep that was a fault of earlier designs.

I changed mine, however for different requirements.

Which one didn't tighten, one of the four top bolts or one of the two bottom nuts? I've got all 6 in place so it's certainly possible with the JJR front/dump.

I WD40's the bejesus out of mine before pulling them out and then trial tightened the bolts and nuts in fully (without the dump) to make sure they'd go all the way in without problems.

the middle bolt next to the engin block i recon i need a bent open ender (half moon spanner)

Strange, I thought I got that one open & tightened fine with a long socket. Or maybe I used a uni joint. Can't remember...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
