I just ordered this turbo and have it going in my 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth along with the following new mods:
Price is great and is advertised as TD04 sized but oem fitment and comes with a calibrated wastegate so that saves even more money by not having to buy a forge unit.
Mines got 2.8 stroker with Garrett GT2860R twin turbos boost comes on at around 4k, which is nice cause it's not so brutal for 3rd gear makes around 550
I went with a BorgWarner S257SXE... 515hp at all 4 wheels on Ethanol at around 21 psi. Spools faster than OEM twins.
modded and tuned to run safely 390 on pump gas with a vf52. 130k miles
I have a g30-770 and I beat the shit out of it sometimes. No issues at all on BT. Full e85 gives me about 500+ WHP as a daily.
In my case no early sign of upcoming failure. It would throw an EPC light and lose power. Stopping, shutting the car off and restarting clears the EPC light and returns normal function of the car. Same situation will repeat randomly.
To top it all off, the turbochargers are absolute garbage. Lag until 4,000rpm. Car has been an absolute lemon.
The turbocharger has failed **three separate times**. Each failure caused: Multiple warning lights / sensor faults, Severe loss of power / limp mode. Turbo was **replaced each time by Honda dealers**. Dealers have told me the likely cause is **cold-weather oil sludging / oil dilution clogging the turbo oil feed**
My old man bought a '22 Limited 2500 with the Cummins and it was the biggest piece of shit ever. We've been a lifelong Dodge family and it was a massive disappointment. The turbo was replaced once at 32,000 miles and then again at 89,000 miles and he traded it in after that.
Had message just like that on 2010 S60 D3.
Turned out to be faulty turbocharger and a bonus of clogged DPF.
