Hexon turbo RR600's in: car is NOT smoking anymore thank god. Will start a new thread once I get it all dialed in and broken in!

There is some play inside the bank 1 VTT turbo shaft and the smoke was definitely caused by the turbo. Here's a pic of the smoke sadly when the VTT's were installed. So all of you guys can now see that it truly was the turbo and not "my engine" as he stated.

You still enjoying your hexons? Can't tell if the multiple periods is leading to a negative comment on hexons or not lol.

WOW! just wow. The way Tony handled this and the pics, videos and reported shaft play all speak for themselves on what customers can expect with him.

I emailed him asking about this specifically, he said he couldn't find any. Interesting. I was also told it would have been shipped by now, but I haven't received any info. I guess time to email.

you ordered yours for black friday deal right? he's probably a little backed up, after the good reviews he probably got slammed with orders. i am hoping to see a lot of reviews and dynos in the next few months.
