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?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
