I had a CT20b go bad on me, Diagnosed as excessive shaft play, made a grind & whine sounds when given some throttle, gave little more than 0.5psi boost pressure. Idled fine though. Went through Toyota to do the diagnosis/repair, ended up costing a mint and they had a rebuilt ct26 put in. I ****en hate it, recently the rebuilt ct26 turbo started going past the engine's normal 14psi (0.9bar) mark and has been hitting the fuel cut at 18 psi (1.2bar)... this things are **** ass crap I was suggested to go with Garrett GT2876R, By time Toyota had "diagnosed the problem" I incurred a hefty labour fee and figured I might aswell just go ahead with their repair and that would save me on ECU/dyno/tuning. I got ****ed in the ass royally by Toyota and am keen on the Garrett some time down the track.
