I am getting 7psi on a stock tune, I thought that was normal. anyway if push came to shove I could obtain a replacement genuine garrett wastegate if the general consensus is that would be better?

@jas98 what did you end up fitting on yours?

can anyone recommend the name of a garage that can actually do this so I can call them up and see if I can a better quote than half a grand. john did get back to me by the way, he said on an FG it would be $100 but on a BA $550, didn't explain why but I imagine it's easier to access...

Run the other way!

Pingtune can't tune lawn mowers!

OVERBOOST then needs to rest????? What's resting?

Yeah, cheers for that.

Anyone else with a valid suggestion? Come on fellas I need to get this fixed, not everyone is mechanically minded - just bought a car that I enjoy and I'm trying to get it working properly.

Cms at Prestons know their stuff and don't charge n arm and a leg.

As Kosij said though run the other way from watsy, suprised that fella is still in the buiz.

How did you get on to him? Just curious.

Autotech - $440 and also recommended a tune as the factory one is a 3psi wastegate. This surprised me but has made me want to get a genuine Garret one so as so to avoid a tune.

Cresent - $300, possibly cheaper if they can do it without yanking the turbo off.

Tunehouse - $325

His name kept popping up when searching online for specialists with the xr6t. I found him on ebay, youtube and via googling, seemed to know his s***, thought I'd give him a go, frankly all three of these other garages seemed to be on the ball a bit more
