Todd,

              I think from memory the waste gate mechanism is welded in (Turbo is at local precision turbos)  If necessary I will do the wastegate upgrade myself.  Easy to put S/S bushes on the shaft – just have to get it all apart.  Possibly famous last words. How did you do yours Todd?

Neil.

Hi Neil;

 When I talked with him he said his web page is out of date and need an update. But one of the things is all of his upgrades now have an 0.7 A/R

Dave, Todd et all,

                                   I just rechecked BNR upgrades as all have an A/R of 0.6, whereas I think it was you Dave that gave the specs of 1.15??  Did I read it right?  Just have to be sure when I talk to the local bloke who is quoting $1000 AUD for a basic upgrade.  That is approx. $660 USD.  Seems he is to just replace the air turbine and housing only.  I will ask about the wastegate when I talk to him as BRN modify all wastegates, but go for up to 17 PSI.  Only need 7 psi max??

                Think I am finally getting there.  Just need to confirm that the A/R is only 0.6 and not 1.15??    Suggestions?

Neil.
