it looks like even the garrett t3's are like this, but are there any boost creep issues from the design of that wastegate? seems like the exhaust gas has to make a hard 90 right out of the port...
Any updates on this?? is the 14th still happening?? Im strongly considering selling my 2860, get this particular turbo, and use the rest of the money to pay some bills and finish up my built.
IRCC, Phils turbo was about $300, Tyson got his from Begi, and Im looking for something under $200 like the one you got. Ill be more than happy with 240whp till I can afford a built engine. Where do you think you stand right now, power wise??

A#1 - knocksensor! Seriously. I was going through motors like underwear till I got one. None since, except from a bad coolant hose.
I don't know where the 1.6's run out of steam, but I think that's in the upper limits of reasonable - from stuff I've heard from FM.

Really thought I was making more torque, I guess the fact I'm making it so much earlier threw off the butt dyno. Dunno if ill keep it on or switch back, but it's running pretty solid.
here's the comparison of the Garrett super 60 trim to the ebay 50 trim.
