and wtf is that supposed to mean?
Who are the two Garrett dealers who told you this? I thought you said 'been there and seen proof'. And having the same issues with your 3071?
I know, as a Garrett dealer myself, that it is not a documented or even noted problem with the 3071 or 3076. I'm not saying that you are not experiencing some problems with yours but it doesn't mean it's a common fault with all their range.
The only reason there is an 'elite racing crew' is because I give people the right information, I don't lie, I don't rip people off, I give free time to people and ask for nothing, I drive to the other side of town to help someone in need, I stand by my product and back up my work. I don't ask people to come to me so don't blame me if you might get flamed for a comment as I don't request it. We are all adults here and everyone makes their own decisions.
Have you checked pre-load on your actuator and/or tested the actuator to see when it is opening?
