I think the point is, 3 pages of nothing but walls of text and marketing talk. When it was as simple as saying something like this:

"The 9810 turbo failed, we don't yet know why as to the cause. We will use something else for now"

Rather than dancing around the issue, avoiding the questions & laying the foundations for an elaborate story etc etc. All that does is make it sound like there is more going - and now posts are getting edited (does it get better? I'm scared to leave the keyboard incase the next installment is even better :merli:)

Part failed, part failed. Shit happens. You get another and hope it don't happen again.

I've had a near new GT30 fail, not been scared to say that. Similar issues to ole mate Noel i would say as well :D

whose to say if the house brick was hit by the moon module or if perhaps your house brick actually jumped off the floor and hit the module as it was minding it's own business mid-hover in your living room? I think your warranty will be paid but only in 3 dollar bills as per your original purchase.

Just another example of how big business never believes the poor consumer. My brick was totally innocent of your outrageous allegation.

bot. If the turbs failed it failed, regardless of curcumstance. I've been around long enough to know these things happen and I certainly wouldnt judge the product on a couple of early problems.

Time will bear out wether the product is as good as Borg Warners hype. I hope it is. Garret have had it their own way for far too long.

couldn't agree more. i am just as anxious as the rest to see how it goes. from what I've seen it looks positive. hopefully when we get back to testing one on marks car it will do what we want. nothing really to do but see what happens. I'll leave it at that.

More to this point, the fact it came out that the turbo failed in the first place and was NOT discussed is why theres so much hoo haa right now.

Even right now we are still discussing the matter in grey text, further adding fuel to the fire for anyone without the capacity to see beyond face value and further defacing the 'slow built' reputation of this product and its sponsors.

Had the cat not been let out of the bag, that is a totally different kettle of fish. Now its known that the thing died and to any 2 digit IQ baring reader they will certainly see a conspiracy brewing.

Eh, c'mon.. Just say it already, damage is done.

Shittest pictures in history, but you get that.

Had Dales (d_stirls) brother machine this up for me;

Perfect copy, just in super pretty alloy. Nipple has been offset slightly for various reasons that don't matter anymore...

Anyway, should be available for people soon.

And on that note, I return to packing for WTAC! :D

Another thread including another blown EFR (EFR6258 - which was replaced by an EFR6758), but at least some otherwise decent performance results were measured from both: http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?121019-Aussie-GMAN-s-Astra-G-SRi-T&p=1825669&viewfull=1#post1825669

Did anyone consider that maybe he would love to share what happened but for what ever reason he just isnt allowed to?

Why is everyone so quick to assume these turbos are junk? So many things can go wrong and destroy a turbo without the turbo ever being at fault. Lets stop assuming and continue waiting for results.

SIerra sierra will be running a 9180 at superlap. That should be a good test as it is famous for killing turbos.

Why is everyone so quick to assume these turbos are junk?

Who is assuming they are junk? It is a discussion on BW turbos and that includes successes, failures and in this case possible failure.

Everyone wants to know what happened.

+1 Certainly no-one is saying they are junk.

However the limited shipments, if it comes out that a number of them are failing (even after testing)... That is an issue that needs attention & something that can be fixed.

Also sounds like BW customer support is 100x that of Garrett who simply don't care which is a much needed thing in the performance turbo world. Obviously just a pain in the a$$ that you potentially have a bit of a wait for another to arrive at the moment.

Well the Sierra Sierra Evo was clocked the fastest down the straight (280kph IIRC) with a 9180 on it.........They were accused by the Jap teams around them of running NOS (illegal)

....Who can knock Tarzan out of his tree next year?

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
