What are you now? The Facebook rip off police? Start in your own engine bay then

Maybe because I looked myself. Couldn't care less if you've got me blocked. Yeah, funny how 5 months of not being able to use a hand will delay things like that hey. But it's not a copy. Like @gerg said, better options out there without needing to be anything like a design that fails to perform...

It would be very helpful, unfortunately Graeme is so scared that people will rip off his designs that he threatens to sue anyone who takes his turbo elsewhere for 3rd party failure analysis. So there aren't too many legitimate inspection reports available. Mine failed because the oil seal came...

It does seem unusual that time frame. I don't understand why it's so difficult to either build a complete replacement unit or send out a supercore. Mind you, Graeme tried to pull a similar stunt when I was arguing with him about replacing the first failed unit. I suspect they both changed their...

Yeah everyone knew which one failed though. Was common knowledge he was using one, had been in quite a few articles etc

He actually published it in his editorial

Nathan Faber is gturbos #1 fanboi. Don't believe a word he says. He's out to run any competition into the dirt just so he can feel better about himself. He will be digging for anything he can use in a negative context, whether it's true or not

I thought I was a one off case, but when I started discussing my experience, once you got past the screaming lunacy of the fanbois, it became apparent that I was not the only one who had experienced issues with the product and consequently issues with the service. I'm not saying every turbo from...

Less capable, maybe, less reliable with a diesel motor, definitely

They come with a choice of motors in the Y61, the petrol TB48 isn't bad, a bit thirsty but you lot are used to that anyway. The diesels on the other hand are plagued by reliability issues, the TD42 otherwise known as the kettle, and the ZD30 otherwise known as the grenade. The Y62 was only...

Better places to spend that sort of $$$ than gturbo. I'm not defending MMP, I've had no dealings with them at all, but I have dealt with gturbo, and my experience with both their product's performance and reliability, as well as their after sales service, left me wondering why I wasted my time...

I see what you did there :rolleyes:

Finally got enough restrictions lifted to spin spanners. Revisited the turbo swap that was rudely interrupted 5 months ago. Machined up wastegate spacer and extended actuator. Test fitting was successful. Finish everything off tomorrow and kick her in the guts for the first time in what seems...
