Heat expanded? Sounds like the fitter didn't know what they were doing.

There have been several members now that have fitted these on R33's and R32's with no complications

This has been covered in 3 threads already - When removing the factory front pipe to fit any aftermarket unit you need to check the alignment of the rest of the exhaust system when its all back together and adjust as needed as its common that you shift the rear section of the exhaust during fitting so the hangers and mounts move which can cause the system to knock around a little

fitted to my car perfectly. 33 25t s2. didnt need any bending on my own, pretty much just fit first go

only hard parts, getting hte dammed heat shields of and re-bolting the t3 flange was a much smaller mission

it didnt clear the floor pan properly, it was rubbing and hitting it...hence it needed to be fixed through heating....but the fitters were advan so i doubt they didnt know what they were doing...lol...i probably had a deformed one LOL 1/10000000 lol either that or because i didnt take just japs advice and get a high flow cat at the same time lol

I got the whole turbo back system from JJ and it came with X Force hi flow cat, so in theory it should be an easy job right?

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
