Your wastegate(s) will provide the extra flow when the turbine runs out. I forsee no problems.

Didnt Shep or Rau run the y2ks a couple years back? I remember those used to be the rage back in the day. I still say go Turbonetics Thumper or go home!

Turbo is reinstalled as of yesterday on the car, and runs. They still used a 270 deg. thrust bearing, and he insists it will still work. I have lost all faith in this company, nad really don't know what to do anymore. as of now, car is in shane's hands. I guess if it blows, it blows. I'm already counting myself out over a grand. If it blows, the car WILL be done for this year.

That's lame, sorry to hear :(

Just more incentive to go with a legit retailer next time around though. Sometimes paying the extra few bucks is well worth every penny plus some.

Take the turbo off and sell it now that it is in working order and get something better and something that you know will work and work well.

^That was the goal, but as of right now, car is at DB for shane to attempt to work his magic. it SHOULD work had the correct bearing kit been used. I MIGHT try and get it fixed but I dunno right now. I also wanted it done, as I planned on racing at BIR this month.

Hey what did you pay for this turbo by chance?

800, but then the cost of fixing it and welding shit and such has upped it to a grand, and now, who knows. expensive fucking hobby, that's for sure. And it's a costly mistake I don't plan on ever making again.
