Not heard of them to be honest, have you done a Google search?
Lol @ the fact only 3 out of 18 turbos are in stock on the website, well maintained then
A at work friend took his supercharged R32 too them for some work. think they mainly deal in the dub world.
may sound silly but have you not tried Adam L at TD or even Glenn as I think I read that he can get good deals.
I've heard of Storm Developments, albeit through one of the courier drivers that comes into our place quite often, they mainly deal with vw turbo and supercharge conversions.
Everyone is blocked from pm'ing me. I don't have time to deal with hybrids anymore, I'm afraid.
No, it's not just you, mate. I'm far from competetive on rollerbearings, purely because there's no market for it.
There's a good reason why though, Oli, we're leading the Europeon market in electronic actuators now. You've got to stay ahead to stay in the game
Hate those things.... whats wrong with a diaphram lol
No, we're not planning on fitting one to a 5
I think there more for vnt, rather than the crude usual methods. I wouldnt of thought it'd be necessary for a simple open shut wastegate.
No, they're controlled via a few things, throttle position, boost pressure switch and ecu. They're a constant problem for fault finding because everything has something electronic attached to it now, so trying to find a mechanical fault is more difficult. We have designed a tester to control the functions of them for nearly all the Garrett range, KKK and Mitsubishi. They're a complicated setup and not something I'd recommend for a tuned car at this moment in time, as i don't think there's an aftermarket ecu available. For the future, yes!
You can't beat the old style actuator though.
Ive only ever seen issues with older mondeo actuators but ive never been able to get an actuator on its own, had to replace the whole turbo? are you able to source them seperately? and or repair them?
We fully overhaul the actuator but in most cases supply an exchange box (we are literally the only company in Europe that do this on a relaiable scale). The Mondeo was the largest culprit for failures. the software changes through production so we have to adapt ours to work with it.
if you look up on ebay.de there are multiple sellers for similar prices.
i do have a gtx3071 and gtx3076 in house and one is going to be sold but i haven't made up my mind which one i want to keep

I've used these guys a few times, speak to Grahame Page he's really clued up!
I've had one of their rolling bearing turbo's on mine for about 6yrs and its still going strong after many trackday's and Pod visits!
I also need to pull my finger out and get my gt4088r to you for a rebuild, is it ok if i bring it down to National Day Adam?
