You got an email back. Been super busy running around trying to deliver setups and getting time back that I lost due to the hurricane.
I have been doing lots of batches of products. Currently have about 15 finished manifolds ready to go, had up to 8 NA exhausts finished on my garage floor late last week. Working on finishing several batches of IC pipes for various years.

Well, I'm getting some nappy scraping sounds above about 2200 RPM, and it smells almost like burnt rubber after a WOT pull. I'm pretty sure this little turbo is toast. Does anyone have a link to either a turbo or CHRA that's currently available as a direct replacement? I'd rather just swap out the dead one to rebuild later and have a backup at this point, since I'm kind in the middle of getting tuned.

This is the one Lars sent me a while back: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Turbo-C...MAAMXQWlFRpoqt
It's currently unavailable for some reason. I looked for an alternative one the other day and couldn't find one.

This is the one I installed when the original turbo started spitting oil out the tailpipe:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-T3T4-...53.m1438.l2649
I used my original ported turbine housing with everything else from the new turbo linked above. It didn't seem to change my spool, but map needed slightly leaner on the top end. Note that the inlet for the air cleaner is larger, so a new air cleaner/elbow will be required.

Wg flapper not seating properly?
I decided to port my wastgate today but I'm having trouble getting the flapper to lay flat on the compressor housing. I've repeated the steps of painting it and
putting it together over and over and get the same result every time. Am I complete a mongoloid or is something amiss?
Edit: I made a circle out of paper that was the same circumference as the wastegate and lined it up with where I knew it touched and traced that. I should have the approximate location based on that I suppose. Question still stands on whether it will be an issue though. Thanks
