But if you don't know, there has to be a line when you're spending too much on a problem that could be $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested to no what is wrong. Can you pm me who your old tuner was??Any updates have u sorted out your car? I'm very interested to no what is wrong. Can you pm me who your old tuner was??Hi mate, theres a few updates, my car now sits in my garage, iv been doing alot of work on it lately, first thing I did is pull the turbo off to get it inspected by MTQ who I bought it off, today they gave me a call saying that my brand new turbo is rooted, way out off balance and also the turbine wheel edges have been damaged, they are blaming my standard manifold that has a modified pipe for external wastgate for the damage done to the turbo, they reckon some off the welds have broke off the manifold an damaged the turbo which means they dont want to warrant it..From day one soon as I took the car out off the shop the turbo was making a grinding noise while the car was warmed up, didnt do it cold, I straight away asumed that the turbo was faulty there an then this is why I was 35 rwkw down in power, I believe that the turbo was given to me faulty ,I know myself that it has nothing to do with my manifold because the inside of the manifold was all cleaned up so that no debree could enter the turbine wheel.I believe the turbo was unbalanced an while my car got warm the rear turbine blade would scrape the rear exhaust housing causing the damage.I will do every thing I can for them to except my warranty claim because this is bullsh*t, they actually want me to pay a 1000 dollars for the damage.Anyways I see how il go with the turbo, hopefully it gets sorted. The other work that I have been doing on my car is fitting up some dash 6 bungs on my heater pipes that supply the turbo coolant, im gonna be running speedflow fittings of them with braided line straight to turbo, iv also put in some new studs for my new etm manifold(one thing I gotta say is that this manifold an dumppipe that lee made is a work of art its simply amazing how good his work is).Right now the manifold is getting ceramic coated.Iv also ordered a new big big intercooler from nizpro,it sould be arriving soon.

The money you have spent already, especially on a Nizpro cooler you could have had the car fixed and be driving it now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money you have spent already, especially on a Nizpro cooler you could have had the car fixed and be driving it nowHi mate yea I had a plazmaman cooler but I gave that to my little brother to but put on his car, an I thought from all the good things I hear about the nizpro cooler,I would give it a try.As for my turbo, the damage was caused from some debree from the manifold, so I can can understand why I wont get warranty on it.What I will be doing now is putting in a new catridge from billet turbos, they have a new spec billet 66mm wheel an a bigger turbine wheel, with this spec catridge I will have to machine both covers.
