Just wondering if Forced Performance have this same issue with upgrading a 08 evo x turbo? Trying to get a FP Green since CBRD pretty much shot me down on this upgrade to a BBX lite.

as mentioned-
the 2008 hotsides were warping quite quickly-
the part numbers on the 2010/2011 turbos changed- the housings were not as prone to warping-
they come in warped- and when machined back to proper straightness- there isnt always adequate clamping material-
so therefor- we dont feel comfortable machining them-
cheers

And.... this is why i like CBRD... Better safe than sorry. Takes this as being one of the few vendors out there that actually care about customer satisfaction more so than filling there pockets.

So since warping is so prevalent on the 08 turbos how come there's not much talk about the issue? I'm only going from the searches on the X section.
Also, what are the negative effects on the engine if the turbo is warped?
