Well after a good few sessions and setting the torque correct i can confirm these are cracking turbos, 100% recommend.

As for torque setting I have mine done up "quite tight" with a "really big spanner".
Seeing as it cost £450 with the Pro wheel thought i'd set-up correct so 35lb torque using a *really big spanner with torque setting* hehe

Cracking kit tho

Using a road machine, the bigger vibrates too much to use indoors especially with the pro flywheel so I'm using mine on the patio outside. Judging how hot I got doing 2x20 min today it's probably wise!

Solid bit of kit tho.
You tried rubber matting OKGO?, stopped this for me beer

Looked at the Kurt mat but £70 is taking piss so went to Argos and grabbed the interlocking rubber stuff in the sports section £10 i think, worked brill!. Also makes machine far more stable.

Well try putting 35lb torque on the nuts it makes a huge difference and i had to get someone to hold the dam thing down to apply that force!.

I've got a Planet X Exocet 2 strapped to mine, i purchased that purely for this turbo and won't be using it on the roads, power wise i've got a Zipp 808 PowerTap wheel so makes a cracking training rig.
