it off in August, I noticed a very small crack in the exhaust housing near the wastegate, but it seems fine. It has low mileage, maybe 75k. It is my second one. The first one was bad when I got the car, cracked exhaust housing, and I got this one used from Swedish Dyanmics. I have put 20k on it running up to 17psi or so.
When you say that near the end you were only able to get to 10-12 psi, was that because of knock or just that the turbo would only boost that high?
My plan is to drive this turbo till it goes and then look at t3-60 or t3/t4 but I want to make sure that it solves my detonation problem.
I just want 18psi steady. How many psi is your T3-60 producing without water injection?
Have you gotten your airflow bumpers on yet? I just got mine on about 3 weeks ago and I am getting a whaletail from Gary Moore. Can't wait for warmer weather to get the summer tires back on.
Thanks
brian
