Anyone running a GT3071R?

I know Hi-boost is running the GT3076R, but is anyone running the GT3071R?

Just curious how it's doing?

Before anyone point sto the WG issues they had, I know about them, and believe they fixed them..I think

Both the Garrett stock frame turbo's for the X are known to have internal wastegate failures from their flappers breaking!!!!!!!

Supposedly they fixed them by modifying the wastegate flapper door. But if you look at the pics of it, it most likely will break again. I'd stick with FP turbos if you want to keep the stock manifold..

Alright...

I was just curious if anyone was running one. I guess not since no one has stepped forward.

Most fell off the bolt-on Garrett band wagon, once they got news of the wastegate failure issues.
