Hey. That sucks. Yeh i bought a eBay one.. DOA. Stock was still good.
Sadly, i would bet $100 your repco one was made in the same factory as the ebay cheapies.
Doa says it all. Nice one Repco.
I would also bet $100 sadly i have done actual damage to my turbo bearings or vanes by the little piece of plastic going into it from the cold air intake plastic vac connector i accidentally leaned on & broke while leaning in to tighten new clamps on the hot pipe baffle to rid Nissan limp mode for the 26th time.
Such a small but what a ..
'mistaka to make-a' !
I would bet $800 theres nothing wrong with my stock bcs.
It was perfect!
I simply leaned on a stupid little plastic connector, snapped it & a brittle bit at the bottom fell into my turbo inlet.
Everyone says its solenoid etc etc but i think theyre wrong as i know what happened exactly.
And it was perfect before it.
Only problem i had was a slight baffle hot pipe boost leak making occasional limp modes.
I put a crapload of clamps on each side mod so it cannot leak boost.
3 clamps a side lol.
I can reach 5000 rpm foot to floor any gear now. Zero limp.
But sadly turbos performance is less than half what it should be because crud has got into it.
I would almost be super surprised if my new bcs on order even works, let alone solves the issue if its good,
As the bcs wasnt at fault.
I was at fault.
