Not hating, mine are all about the same quality, but they were all filmed while participating in "activities"...IMO the filming is probably the most impressive part lol

Sad thing is I don't know that you can fix that turbine housing....it's heavily worn where the wastegate flapper shaft passes through the housing. I've had a turbo like that as well. You would have to cut/resleeve it somehow.

fixing it would be a pain, can't use simple bushings like brass. has to be a tough material like inconel.
