I've had this swap running for 4 years, including drag strip and road course time, 220whp on the dyno (naturally aspirated), and have experienced no engine problems whatsoever. I have 20,000 miles on the engine which I built myself.
If I'm a "dumb ------- ****", I guess I should take down all the "dumb -------" ---- I've said about the Holset VGT so you guys don't hurt yourselves using my "dumb -------" information.
I love trolls!

Are you telling me they are not a giant piece of ---- that GM will barley admit that they built due to the all the warranty problems they had with it?

The problem here is that the Canadian is afraid of anything that comes at him with four camshafts. It reminds him of his last family reunion. And who can blame him? All that shaft can be a bit intimidating.
Oh, and a GM tech that can't work on a GM car is the definition of QUANTUM FAIL.
