I use it. What do you want to know. I had to bang the wastegate dump to get it to fit and it still rubs my steering column sometimes.

over all it was cheap and effective.

i have one.. i had to do the same thing.whacked the wastegate part of it a couple times, also had to use a stud instead of a bolt on one hole. mine doesn't rub though...i musta whacked it harder.

I thought I whacked mine pretty hard and it doesn't rub all thetime, just some of the time. the only problem with whacking really hard is you can cause a restriction on the wastegate which may cause to boost creep. This is unlikely with the factory turbo but watchout with a big turbo.

Eventually, I will replace mine with a custom one when I do the turbo upgrade.

Oh yeah, I used all studs on the turbine outlet and the dowpipe conneciton. Grade 8 baby!

i didn't really whack mine all that much.and haven't felt/heard it rub yet...does your engine sit low? i did a writeup for a local forum.pics are here. you can see it's not dented enough to cause much of a restriction.ohionissans
