One thing i noticed, that this particular turbo has an electrical actuator and does not have the vane movement stopper screw. I think it's movement characteristic is in the ECU.
On vacuum operated actuators there is usually a vane movement stopper screw. You have to check and compare the small lever movement(inside the hot core) with the old core.
The adjustment may be off and it may cause overboost spikes or underboost. Readjusting it, turbo off again in many cases.

how long should I drive with rebuilt turbo for it to properly brake in, also when is it ready for stage 1 chiptune?

[@piovo1]

Usually a few hundred miles just depends on the quality of the CHRA. Chinese ones will die stock so I wouldn’t even map those ones.

@@piovo1 i drove 13000km and remaped it, drove about 1000km and no issues so far, wish me luck haha

Once the core is replaced do I need to calibrate the wastegate actuator?

[@gavindewey4072]

Once you rebuild the turbo do you not need to have it balanced 👍

[@aseyeseait]

Turbo cores are supplied balanced.
