I like Garrett and would totally rock the hustler setup. But that means drilling inconel bolts for safety wire. Getting an EWG welded onto my manifold. Getting an EWG pipe welded to downpipe. Getting a BOV.

Yo Leo, mount a go-pro on your rear bumper so we can have video of your car shitting out my turbine wheel.

If you're lucky your water heater will take out your roof on it's way up.

Sure, if they work, but they seem to be failing at a high rate. If Soviet's EFR lasted a little while longer, that may have been a $1450 paperweight. Nice. What's their warranty anyway, time wise, and if you are not the original purchaser?

It'd be like making a really nice manifold that gives lots of power/spool gains but with a design flaw that made some fail quickly during normal use (like the wrong choice of material), and then still trying to justify the inflated price because it was better before it broke.

So much for that big "Made in the USA" tag on the turbo...

Did they shut down the plant that builds these or what? Are they importing titanium from China? Bueller? Bueller?

This is very frustrating and I hope Borg Warner gets it taken care of asap. I am extremely excited to see what the upcoming kit will look like from Trackspeed, and I don't want Borg Warner to ---- this up.
