My F'ing Luck Continues. . . What's up BNR?

I finally had a chance to drive my car around with the new turbo in on
Friday. It has 100 miles on it so far. I checked my turbo this morning and
found that the trim can be moved up and down. When i first received it
through the UPS i checked the trim and it didnt budge a mm. The trim now is
able to hit the housing of the turbo. I also saw lines left on the housing,
which could possibly mean the trim was scraping against it.

Not only do i have to replace that exhaust leak, now i have to deal with this. . .what next?

Oh, yea, and I bought the Stage 3 turbo from BNR for $750.

They better replace it or somthing. . .

I saw this, and you mentioning it in another post. Maybe you should contact Brian and BNR directly and ask them about this first.

Never had that problem before, I've used 4 BNR turbos, put 25k on one, 10k on the other, and about 40 drag strip runs on the stage 3 with no issues on any of them.

Just wait til he replies, Sometimes, things get defected. It's part of the rebuild process. Just see how he handles it. I'm pretty sure he will replace it.

What the hell is a "trim"? One of the wheels?
