throw it out .why ask a questionif your not going to listen to the other advice people give you ?
As stated already the question was asked before getting a hold of the manufacturer. I was hoping that someone on here might have some actual input that might have sounded like this…
“I had a similar problem and it was unable to be fixed”
“I repaired something like that and it didn’t work very long”
“I fixed something like that and it has been working great”
On two other forums I post on people have posted responses similar to that one even with pictures of his repaired housing. I’m aware that it seems like I’m just ignoring everybody but seriously just posting “Throw it out” with no explanation of reasoning behind it or stating that you have ever seen anything like it is not very helpful.
On top of that I always go back to the fact that after this thread was created last night I talked to the manufacturer of this part and they directly told me not to buy another from them but fixing this one will be the better path.
So I’m sorry if I take the word of the company that made the part over some random person typing five words with no back up information at all.
I have seen it on my old turbo 3071r and i had to buy a new turbo (3076r). Listen to what people are saying or your just gonna piss money away
Thank you for relaying the experience, I will contact Bullseye Power tomorrow and see if I can get on that looks better than my last one did. Or I may repair this one, put in the rebuilt chra and sell it off on DSMtuners.
Also I may just get the car running good enough to give some kid with his parents money the test ride of his life and unload the damn thing.
Well I contacted Bullseye one more time and Dave there was adamant that replacing the housing was not necessary. I got the housing repaired and I picked it up today. The offending bur was grinded down and the broken bolt that my dumb ass broke a drill bit in proved to be a pain so instead of removing it and the other bolt 6 new holes were drilled and tapped.
Here are some pictures of the repaired housing, if it fails again I will update this thread.
I say give it hell. If it works cool, we all learned something. If it fails, big deal. I am sure that $250-400 you spent on it isnt keeping your food off the table at home, so the “savings” is really irrelevant when it comes to gaining experience from trying something.
Plenty of people, some that chimed in with dumbass replies have made far more DUMB decisions retailed to cars than trying to fix something like this.
