I'm about ready to toss a grenade in the car...
I had another thread a couple weeks ago about the wastegate/overboosting problems I've been having. In removing the downpipe I had a couple nuts seized and sheared a stud in the turbine. Tried a broken bolt extractor which didn't work, drill started smoking, and then the bit broke. I've got the turbo off at this point. I've driven the car probably a total of one month out of the last three. So now my options are take it to a machine shop to get the stud out or see if Begi will take it back (though they never responded to my email about the fucked up wastegate port) and trade me for a turbo with a properly round port. Maybe even step down to a gt2560. Really I'm just sick of the problems. If everything had fit right from the beginning I could have enjoyed driving during the summer instead of dreading another weekend spent fixing problems. I almost want to just sell the ******* car because I'm so sick of this.

Seems like that's the way things go, especially around here, things go great for a while then all the **** hits the fan at once. Sucks to hear but it's all worth it when she's running right and you're behind the wheel...right?
On a side note, if you throw the grenade in make sure you have full coverage/a rider for the extra parts in the car/and get the hell away real quick
