The turbine housing IMO is a custom job. The Single wastegate turbos only have 5 bolts to the downpipe, have a circular entry point from the exhaust manifold and have a single turbo stay bolt hole (not 2 which would suit either St185 or ST205 bracket like the S148).

Possibly because having things cast is expensive there are usually minimum order quantities and TT probably rightly think that there is limited demand and it will takes ages to shift them.

If they are indeed a bespoke unit then perhaps there is also a problem with the mould used for casting. It could have come to the end of its useful life, then it would be very expensive to resolve.

Ultimately it's all speculation unless we get a reliable source of info from within TT.

I'm quite happy with my unit and looking forward to pushing it further. :D

Cloudy over here - but not too cold. Great weather to start my front end restoration!

Is that a little cover for your oil cooler with handle on the lower left bumper?
