You have a water-cooled turbo? &nbsp;Cool. &nbsp;I know a couple people that have asked me about them, and I really don't know.
As for the original question...
Do you mean install problems, or bugs, or just general problems?
I had lots of all of them. &nbsp;Bugs were an erratic idle caused by the vaccuum lines not bieng hooked up correctly. &nbsp;Then I have had the bolts rattle out of the manifold, burning out the wastegate gasket and forcing me to drive 40 miles extremely slow.
I also have a fairly slow oil leak that I can't find... I'm thinking the oil problem that 240racer mentioned... but I can't find it. &nbsp;Also, every weekend, I gotta dump octane booster into my 93 octane gas to race, and go above 6K rpm without detonation. &nbsp;Also, my pile of shit Z rated tires can't keep traction in 1st gear when boost hits. &nbsp;They will also hop if I go over a paint line while accelerating. &nbsp;I can't drive (unless it's granny-style) in the rain. &nbsp;No LSD. &nbsp;And finally, my automatic tranny gets thrown off due to extra pressure in the manifold (that tells the tranny when to shift due to pressure.) &nbsp;It always shifts late, and at the slightest change in throttle position, I get a downshift.
Also, my fuel economy is pegged around 20mpg, with 120miles highway, 180 city. &nbsp;Not much racing around (mabey 1 sprint of acceleration per day to the speed limit.) &nbsp;
That's all I can think of.
