Turbosmart Hypergate Wastegate Leaking

[Ben C34]

Also where the v band goes on the outlet looks different.

Think I might of been taken for a ride. Has large flat spot on the valve.

Just went to autobarn and ordered one in. The bloke who sold it to me made a big mistake. I know where he lives. Hope the new one fixes the problem. If not I will be pissed off big time. After I got the old one to seal better and took it for a drive. It felt a lot more responsive.

That's good you sorted it out.

he may be in the same position you were in at the beginning, and have no idea it's a fake.

[lcxu105]

He didn't use it. I will be asking for my money back.

My mate bought one second hand recently and was a fake aswell

Must be afew out there !

Thought turbosmart had a cort order to stop it. Ohh well. Problem found hopefully.

Been an expensive experience. 2 times on the dyno and buying the same part twice. mmmmmm

Me too. Just about over it. Even having problems with the build of my new forged 30. Machine shop f**k up the block by accident gouged the bore when removeing the hone. Mmmm not happy. But they are replacing it.

Cars are shit. But knitting and watching TV is shitter.

[Blackkers]

That sucks. A genuine one that seals properly will bring the turbo on sooner. 6k rpm is too late even for a gtx 3582

[lcxu105]

Should be around 4500rpm

Bought second hand. But un used paid 350. Has all the turbosmart writing and emblem cast onto the main body

Saved $50, but was it worth the headache?

Those Chinese will copy anything... Poorly.

Just get a C63 AMG (hopefully when our import laws are relaxed)... that's what I will be doing.

My genuine Turbosmart one was leaking due to a cracked o-ring...so it happens to the real deal too

[scotty nm35]

Oring? On a wastegate? The shaft has a bronze bush, rubber wouldn't last 2 seconds on my gate.

[Roy]

Well, tell Turbosmart. When i bought a replacement i grabbed two ... expecting it to fail again

Well replacement one fitted. Fixed the problem. The old one is different from the one I got today. Easy way to pick it it the size/tthickness of the flange. Chinese copy one is about 2 to 3mm thick and the real deal is 5mm. Pain in the arse as I have a Chinese flange welded on the exhaust housing for the gate. Have made a spacer to go in the v band to hold it properly.

I don't think you read my post at all.

How'd you go getting your money back, did you show him how big of a mistake he made?

[lcxu105]

I have my ways.
