I dont care mate, everyone around here knows I love a good derail. Continue on turbo chat. I'd suggest looking for other things that maybe causing issues (exhaust restrictions) just to be sure its the turbo

@JETURBO MPH was about right considering the hard as I <3 Bananas tyres and cool unprepped track (1.93 60ft). She just blazed at the lights if I tried to take off hard. Ill go back in summer and drop the 60ft down. 

Turbo rattle seems to have dissappeared today which is nice. I gotta pull the intake off and inspect it tonight

I mean I'd love to justify a new turbo, shame If it has failed and it was just off the car.

A turbo dude told me that ceramic bearings can recut the race and quieten down again if it isn't fully fingered to start with. I spose this would leave more radial play which could lead to other issues.

For some reason I thought that you didn't still have the stock bearing majigee in your turbo. The earlier gt35r turbos did have steel bearings.

Apparently this turbo is perfect for one of our cars. Turbo purchase justified.

Yup early model fg f6 turbo with a billet wheel and .7 anti surge cover. Sounds mint

I think you've just justified it mate

So the turbos officially on its way out, 

 

the wheel has fouled the bottom of the housing. Free highflow I guess?

 

so turbo options! Shoot people
