Waste gate Failure pictures.... not cool. Sending it off to Jake at Tial today. You can see that the top was nicked up a bit when it exited the engine bay. and in the bottom pic you can see the two screws that got ripped right out after the other 4 vibrated out.  The holes off my finger tip and thumb are the destroyed ones.  |

screws started backing out, then ultimately the last 2 were pulled out by the spring. good thing is that as bad as it looks, nothing is really damaged, just needs a spring (couldn't find it)
not sure what caused it, possibly bouncing off the spark cut rev-limiter?? lol

You aren't kidding... My favorite quote from last drift event from Robert went something like this... and feel free to correct me if I get it wrong... "...normally I think safety wiring anything on a car is Completely overkill, but since it is you I believe it is required." - kurai shimo |

So Tial recieved it... replaced the springs/screws/ everything that was neccessary... loctited it and sent it back to me for free (just the $5 shipping for me to get it out there)... I should recieve it here in a couple days.
Not bad! Tial... How a company should operate. I highly recommend their products. Buy legit Tial... it is worth it.

for the record, i do believe in safety wiring bolts
but yeah, for "normal people" probably unnecessary.
for you, maybe double up!

i agree... maybe a little safety wire on oil filters too. they decide to get up and walk off mid drift sometimes... its weird.  |
