    You have a warranty on the F23L; hit up FT.

    No need to, not maxing the stockers out. I think I run more air through the motor; need to tune it a bit more. Haven't had the time with the arrival of our daughter. Soon though, soon

    I just bought Eurodyne. They have a nice base tune that will get you 95% there (depending on other supporting mods).

    I could be wrong here but the wastegate on the IHI turbo cannot be replaced from what I've read, van462 did a write-up of how to repair it. Audi extended the warranty on B8 turbos to 70K, when one goes they just replace the whole turbo and not just the wastegate. If the wastegate could be swapped I'm sure Audi would be doing repairs versus replacements....but again I could be wrong, reason I browse more than I post

    Cant repair wastegate. Can bandage it but vans write up wont last ...youll end up right back where you started.the ihi turbo is not built like others with a repairable wastegate. I was going to have my stock rwpaired and i was going to sell it....but no luck.
