Well after driving it around some more and some extended low boost cruising on the freeway, I think the turbo is finally breaking in. because I can make boost in 1st now more easily. and cruising boost @ 70mph is now 2psi which is about where I want it, stock turbo for reference was pushing 8psi at that speed on the flat. I know its not taxing the motor but I didn't like it because of the unneeded heat entering the motor.

I will forsure however, need to redo my exhaust. Its WAY loud now. hurts my ears loud. The turbo is sounding cool. I like huge turbine whine I get.

in conclusing if this turbo lasts I will probably stick with it. I do have another D24T on an engine stand, And I will be doing a twin setup with that motor... but thats another thread.

I've been running the absolute shit outa mine now since last july or so with that turbo and the shaft play still feels good, nice and tight. So far no problems. I have put probably close to 10k miles on it.
