bump steer
My turbo has started to suffer this problem
The car is lowered by the way as i know that people will ask first
Is there anyway this can be sorted?
Been told to raise the steering rack to solve this problem?

I've also changed my roll centre by a modification that fits to the TCA ball joint

What did you do to do that mate? I can only think of putting a spacer in between the balljoint and the hub?

I'd of thought you'd want to lower the TCA at the inner wing mount to bring the arm back to the right angle to match the lowered ride height of the hub? I see what you mean tho, you've basically put the TCA back into it's normal position with this spacer?
Maybe im wrong but thats how i'd lower the roll centre!?

No point looking at different things, till you get it to a known setting, and see how it fairs.
