anyone have problems with evo waste gate rods breaking?
every time my car is "done", my WG rod breaks! WTH... woke up early so i could do some 3-4th gear pulls and on the way home i have low boost.. this has happened 3 times now.. called evo last time and they said i'd have to take off my WG's and send them back for inspection... they have less than 10k on them...

i think i know why this keeps happening.. I THINK the metal of the rods are defected, here's why.. i thought it was the same side that has broken twice before, but it's not, it's the other side. it only happens in cold weather. when i am driving hard, in full boost, its fine. however, when i drive home the temp of the metal cools fast because of the weather and the headers cooling down, thus causing the rods to crack... that's the only thing i can think of???

But that doesnt sound like a good answer either? If that was the case EVO should have known that by now?
Are they aligned right and not hitting ?

If you are going to take your wastegates off ,then did you ever think about doing the K24/18 upgrade since you are going to be that far??

I have the same problem, real PITA!
Have to sync the turbos every time one of these breaks. EVO does not agree that they sell an inferior product.
Markski, where do we find the 'thicker' replacement rod?

Mike... Good speaking with you this morning... these "Rods" sound suspect... I'll await your photos and see if we can get you back on the road today! : )
