Default My post was not to bad mouth, but to get input! Look at all before you assume you know me!

BTW if anyone wants to look back I'm was not trying to bash anyone when I first started this post, I just wanted input. As a matter of fact someone asked and I refused to say because I just want info. about the problem not the person! I posted a name after customer service was sh*t!

Default Re: ok now your story is sounding fabricated.. I know Reuben personally he has done countless KO4 s

Neal I have met you, I actually bought my rs4 bumper for you, We spoke about installin hurricane shutters and my silver S4. We spoke for some time, did you really feel that I was a story teller or a liar? Am I not a careful person, you were patient with me when I asked you a thousand questions about the bumper and the KO4 upgrade.

Default yes it is designed to limit heat transfer, just like a valve, yet someone who is much more turbo

smart than myself told me that the second use of the thinner wall material is to melt once a limit has been reached and then take away boost by no longer driving the compressor wheel. this avoids further damage to the motor.

hey, maybe i am missinformed but it made sence to me

if you look at the pictures though you'll see that the shaft broke below the ring groove

when I first saw the units I asked if it could have been cause by a balance issue, no one answerd that question. Could vibrations have caused this?

Default that is possible......

it's very tough to give a concrete answer though just by looking at pictures.
