wish youd stop calling them ickle bill....
everytime the needle hits 7k i see those words and my foot relaxes
I was about to post the very same...............
I have not ever run garrett, so have not killed one. (yet - lol)

nope..sorry, your not quite correct.
several ihi's, warped housings mostly, surprisingly never a bearing failure personally, all whilst jabba mapped. yes it was mapped and pushed hard as a testbed for both jabba & myself.
Songman is on his 2nd IHI unit, first one suffered bearing failure i believe. (suspect dv not operational as blamed cause)
wilko has consummed a few, as has Dan....

PE1820 / FP green / FP red on there and all functioning fine. no bearing failures. I have had 2 FP housings seize their wastegate puk however until I reengineered them.

You will have to be going some to melt a big garrett although i wouldn't put it past you!
You going external gate now bill? Holding 2bar+ till redline will be interesting!!
On the DV front,i'm running a tial bov now and it's a really good bit of kit,you have to weld a flange onto your ic pipe but the sounds is....
i ran 2bar on the green & red...
will see what the 44mm tial & big garrett do when assembled.
green spring is pretty soft.... how soft do they want it? softer than an Oe valve to open soft.
Well I think this is a good case for running the valve the wrong way round.
That way, you've got boost pressure pushing against the spring. Spring pressure > boost pressure = closed valve.
Boost pressure + vac > spring pressure = open valve.
Makes more sense than boost pressure against side of piston.
/runs away to hide.............
diaphram vs piston
if it was reliable and didnt tear? would it be a positive ihi wise?
DPJ;1823879 Reliable diaphragm? Does the pope allow that?[/QUOTE said:no but apr apparently do.

at least eventually it would make a whooshy sound. straight after the tearing sound
I've seen Kevins Jabba'd mani/Owens GT30 fitment and external tial gate mod. Looks very neat. Be interesting to see how long it lasts and if cracks become an issue. Vents out of the top.
to be fair ihi are pretty reliable when set up right... its when you push it you get problems afaik.
chap on here songman is running ihi at 360/370 odd. but id agree if you want more than 340bhp look at alternatives to ihi.
ibizacupra has broken a few ihi`s i think and has taken his beeza through a few different garretts too. id have a chat with him.
