Matt,

Firstly, if I've understood this correctly, it's just the 6 bolts that hold the turbine housing to the core? If so, why not channel your energy into just tightening them up? It's not that big a problem, surely? These turbo's are assembled by human beings not robots, so mistakes can happen. Not everyone is perfect. OK, it's not great, but it's not worth stressing over, is it? Additionally, I think you should have spoken to CR Turbos and given them a chance to sort it out before posting on here.
