So you're going to take your car back to the same dodgy mechanic?

i've already paid for the turbo what else can i do? he has to put it in and retune it for free if he's ripped me off yeh? i might as well get it done there then get it looked over with another mechanic unless there's another way i can do this :S

Yeah you got shafted alright. Best bed is to build a case up against him (receipts vs what he's actually done, which means getting another professional to look at your). It's going to get pretty tough for you now man. Hopefully he's less of a dick to you the second time round and actually fixes the issues. But that won't happen, because if he was like that, you wouldn't have issues in the first place!

Perhaps look into Fair Trading, maybe ask someone in your state if they know someone who can give you advice on this matter.

surprisingly he was really nice about all this and offered to fix it, guess my anxiety got me stressed for nothing, thanks for all the advice but guys!!

edit: he played around with power fc and fixed the knocking and the high idle, but he reckons a gasket could be leaking now so he's gonna check that out

just because a part may have NISSAN cast or stamped into it doesnt mean that its made by NISSAN

*sigh* thanks Captain obvious ;) think you're missing the point. An AFTERMARKET Garrett turbo I.e a Garrett GTX3071R wont have a nissan housing like the O.P claims he paid for!

      Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm.

      My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
