Well... I broke my turbo
Anyone know at what point a turbo is not cost effective to be rebuilt? That it is so messed up you might as well get a new one? I have some pics to post up a later. The exhaust turbine lost a fin which hit the housing and caused a little piece of the exhaust runners on the housing from btwn the exh. mani. and turbo to break and peal back into the runner.
Well I was going to go to have my FP red rebuilt into a FP Black but I was quoted within $100 of purchasing a new Black from AWD motorsports to have it rebuilt by FP. Needless to say I would rather buy a new turbo. I ended up going with the Hta 3582r instead. I chose it for reliablity and power potential. I plan to upgrade to the Hta 86 once I build the engine.
I think your gona be happy with the bigger Turbo, If you match your power goals and adapt your driving style then lag is over rated in my opinion.
