all true, it is a very simple device but a turbo is also a ultra high precision device. if the person touching it does a half assed job, you are gonna have a bad time. also the diesel turbo's are vnt turbo's. the manufacturers of these are quite adamant that the vnt cannot be properly calibrated without a flow bench.
+1 agreed - but obviously you can sort this out properly and the decent turbo people will have a flow bench afaik.
my point is, if the right man, and company is on the job. the "attention" that the turbo gets is far more and concentrated than on a production line...
where by stats... every n'th unit will be of a lesser quality... etc
so.. what you are saying is that a factory like the garrett factory, with their quality control procedures, precision machining and balancing equipment, hand assembly, and everything else needed to turn out a device that operates at 100k rpm for many many thousands of kilometers, by the millions, cannot possibly match the kind of attention that a aftermarket workshop can give a single turbo?
hi.
a little out of context there... what im saying is on a production line you have a batch of X units being made at speed. probably by the minute.
when u have a single turbo loose at a specialist, they are giving it 1 on 1 attention, the time thats going into that 1 turbo is more than at the factory which is most likely party automated...
again, im sure you can read between the lines that im speculating...
im sure its the calibration equipment at the end of the day doing the work, but the time and "care" taken is sort of more attent.
kinda like a kid at school will learn better in a class of 10 kids, than in a class of 50kids due to more time spent per kid / 10..
