Keep in mind the KAI is 90 days out and is going to retail for 2800. I think most of the discussion about this turbo, unless you are an HKS parts collector, rules it out of use when there are less expensive, more capable, domestic units available.

Yes, I have pulled off one of the two 7460, and there's nothing wrong, it only miss the preload.
I have also changed the exhaust housing on the OEM turbo (the one on which the WG flapper completely came off). I cannot inspect the flapper because it isn't there anymore, but the housing is OK, only a bit worn because the flapper has rotated for too much time, worn but flat, not warped.

Bumping this up.
I've had the offer to purchase a 7460 with the damaged flapper for a good price.
Is it worth purchasing this turbo, replacing the flapper with another and going again? Or even trying to adapt another actuator to suit?
Or am I just throwing money up the wall that I will eventually have to re-spend?
Car see's hard street duties and ~6-8 road race days a year which consist of 5+ 10-15min sessions in a day.
