Default Custom tC kit made for Turbo Mag build...

http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/04...ged/index.html

Can this be recreated for my show car? I am looking for something more show then the ugly rusty log manifold I have now and would like to ditch the setup since I seem to be going through turbo's like shoes. I already see my new 60 trim .63 a/r showing some blow by in the recirculation fitting and really think its time for a change cause I cant afford another turbo install.

If you guys can't recreate that... I feel you should do something about these issues with the tC kits because I went with you guys for your quality... and that is not a word I would use to describe this right now.
Sorry if this comes out as rude... I am losing a lot of money that should be going to furthering my car on fixing this turbo setup.
Thanks,

Alex Swensen

Steps are being taken to address the issue of failed turbine seals. I have posted this before but the bottom line is the turbos will be swtiched over to use wet bearing sections to reduce heat and decrease and chances of seal failure. More info should be available soon.

if you could expedite this process as much as possible that would be ideal since I have paid too much money to get the turbo and down pipe replaced. Now I know I am going to have to do this again soon and I think I may just re-do this unless something comes out in the next month.

I'll try to find out where the updated bearing stuff is at with Reggie.

i know I am resurrecting an old topic but my second turbo just blew its seals... I contacted you guys with absolutely no response as of yet. I don't know if this is because the tC has naturally high oil pressures which goes right through the seals or if the water cool will help, but all I can say is this kit has cost me over 1k in installs and storage for the downtime caused by the issues. The turbo was replaced under a year ago but I am running out of oil more frequently than I go the bathroom. Email me at alex@playinwithfire.us
