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!

      Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps

      All trim back in wired running driving. Few things to follow up on but not far off the return to the road. att.6HN4wP38LTIOISkhA8eACoBFqzfgQMahZPLA8ut0pqE.mp4 att.w2q0ux2PGuqgQTj2Os13cNHQtqcSEcCAhD_CAXy_IQM.mp4

      The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.

      I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
