new goodies are definitely planned. right now those new goodies are new rollpins to replace the busted one. but in the couple years to come it'll get a built motor and more boost. won't swap turbos though untill this one is maxed out. and after driving this one on a 17psi tune not dialed in all the way compared to my 2.8" setup.....i think a built motor and 30psi will be PLEANTY fast. no need for a bigger turbo. glad i bought this car instead of whitfields. idk wtf i would do with 800 let alone 400 hahah

but now it appears i have a blown turbine housing seal

yeah. checking to see if it'll be able to be warrentied tomorrow. along with a compression test just to be safe. but theres oil seeping through the turbine/dp gasket, which there obviously shouldn't be oil inside the exhaust... and theres signs of oil dripping on the wastegate

lol theres nothing actually "wrong" with the car. the transmission was a quick fix. the turbo was caused by my dad plugging the vent in the catchcan. causing pressure inside the turbo and forcing oil into the compressor and turbine housing. sending oil through the exhaust, hot side piping, and finally being caught in the intercooler.

yeah a 3076 isn't really that big of a turbo. however. a garrett cannot even compare to a forced performance HTA 3076. but either way, with the garrett being able to push 500+ and the FP one capable of more. i'd say a 3076 is a perfect turbo for these cars.
