Well it took about 2 months but my Turbo finally came back from Six Star Speed, and it was 100% worth the wait.
This thing is spotless and looks so much better than a brand new unit.
The turnaround was of no fault of their own as I had requested upgraded bearings which took a while to get.
The unit started out as a stock VF48 from the new style STi with about 50k miles on it.
Six Star installed their billet wheel which not only reduces spool time but increases efficiency by 15+%
It received a full port, and all new water and oil lines. They also upgraded both the journal and thrust bearings with high performance pieces as well.
I topped it off with a Turbosmart wastegate actuator which has some neat features and should really help with controlling boost.
• Silicone diaphragm with Nomex reinforcement to withstand high temperatures.
• High grade, billet aluminum construction.
• Stainless steel rods and connecting clevis for corrosion resistance.
• Locking Collar design cap allows for quick spring changes.
I'm really excited to get this installed.
