Pretty good at it now 😄. Got it down to around 40mins with a bit of mucking around included. As expected KSRacingPRO has been silent at the moment on my email to them about warranty etc. I'll try them again tonight but not holding my breath. I have attached images of the damage. All in all, its not that bad. Only 3 fins managed to rub the housing. Rear housing is fine. Shaft out and "there's your problem" Flaps just coz everyone loves a good flap Conclusion: Cheap chinese bearings gave way in my Powerspirit GTX3576 from KSRacingPRO (SEO ). Turbo is well oiled. Everything is coated. I have logs of all my tuning and daily running and oil temps, water temps and ERGs are all well in check.

finnas Gold Donating Members 105 Member For: 14y 3m 4d Posted 20/08/19 10:03 AM Author Share Posted 20/08/19 10:03 AM In other news, I've sourced a new Genuine GTX3576 gen 2 for stupid cheap. Just over 2k Complete and is getting overnight-ed ex-east coast. So with any luck the car will be back on the road thursday night. If I had budgeted originally for a genuine GTX I guess I'd still have money for another powerspirit or 2 plus the dead one 😄 . Maybe a spare mamba? no? Anyways, im going to rebuild this Powerspirit and get it balanced. Use it in another car. Cheap, easy fun. Seriously the baby GTX is so fun. Response and spool just puts a smile on your face haha. Can't wait to see how much better the GEN 2 is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installed last night. And I'm back up and running. Just got to touch the tune up a little as the boost comes on differently and holds better in the higher revs. It's induction noise is much more refined than the powerspirit. Less boy racer more bmw m3 hahah. Car off the road for 5 days is a pretty good turn around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
