Would you say that better results could be realized with a diy performance hpop vs what diy injectors yield? Or should someone have the mindset of “keep expectations low and it should be fine”?

Great question. It would be as easy as rebuilding your turbo, but without worrying about balanced turbine/compressor wheels.

Having seen many struggle with just a reseal, or the so called non serviceable plug, I feel like the idea of a diy rebuild hpop would be intimidating to a lot of people, and even make for a high number of callbacks of frustration

What about adhesives? I've read the claim multiple times that modern adhesives are stronger than any mechanical bond could ever be. Even stronger than welding was/is the claim. Might be time for a little "put up or shut up" from some chemical engineers, or is that going to suffer the same fate as "fine threads are stronger than coarse". Fine print: except in the real world where they strip and pull right off the fastener.

I've worked with some prcs' in aviation that could glue a hitch on and as long as you kept driving straight, it probably would out pull welds or grade 8 hardware.
But as soon as you turn a corner or hit a big enough bump to put shear or torque on it, the strength plummets from the claimed hundreds of tons to single digits. So no glue in threads.

I'll give you a bit of insight. One of the neighbors in my complex has a pretty sharp 4axis guy. Well the owner bought him a brandy new Haase 5 axis. He feels it will take him 6 weeks to get "kinda" up to speed in it.....and he said, "and that's not even full 5 axis milling.

Is it really 5 axis...or just 3 and 2?
