Scam? I dunno. I bet you it takes a lot of work to make a big operation like that. I dont think their idea is "lets scam some people" but rather trying to make a product for less money. Obviously quality suffers but you get what you pay for. This holds true with many products that come from china. From tools, to eating utensils.

Evo the friend that bought that turbo sold it to another one of my friends because he didnt trust it. haha.
We'll see if it even spools and holds together. I'll let ya know.

Just like it was a half century ago with products from Japan.

hey i posted this on probetalk now you guys should read this...

lol doo not ever buy from these ppl....check this email out

down2turbo says....you can send it back to Jason 11535 sipsey valley rd north Buhl,Al , 35446

reply.....when will the money be refunded back to my paypal? upon arrival? how can i be secure that i will recieve the refund?

down2turbo says.....no there are no refunds the auction clearly states all sales are finally the warranty means if there is a problem due to manfactures defects we will fix it and send it back do you think if you buy a new car that if you have a problem with it that the warranty means you will get your money back sorry I wish things did work that way


reply....alright well..i will just have to file with paypal to have the money returned.
the turbo is by no means operational. you have sold MANY turbos to MANY customers on ebay with a 0 success rate in functionality to my knowledge. be prepared to deal with this.
revoking my gratitude for your cooperation


P.S. if i purchased a car on a lot, i would get to test drive it first. this turbo is nothing more than a cheap non functional model of a real one. dont try and make a comparison with legitimate sales.

down2turbo says!!!did I not say that if there was someting wrong with it we would fix it yes I ddi and also I will leave neg feed back on you plus you will not get your money back becuase paypal does not coover or by law alowed to decide weather your item is to be warranted or how it is warranted only that you recieve it and that is it is the right one have proof of allthat and our company will draw a law suit against you for theft by deciption meaning you will have to come here to go to court or if you donot show up pay the $700 fine that will sent to you thru your county District attouney So lets go becuase we have lawyers that handle this all the time so I am waiting on you

I hope this place is legit.. I had wanted to buy a t3 from them for so long cause of their great prices. http://www.turbocalculator.com/sale-garrett.php They range in price, and all together are VERY cheap. They at least use the words Garret in their heading. Also, they do have turbos that go up to $4000. I don't think they'd sell a $4000 phony (hopefully) What do you guys think? They do say remanufactured on the T3's... which is fine, I think that sounds like just a good deal!

Dont buy the master power ones and the ones from this quote:
Brand new! Perfect for high HP turbocharged four and six cylinder engines. 0.50 A/R compressor housing. 0.63 A/R turbine housing with the standard T3 inlet and 5-bolt T3 outlet flange. Has the very popular and wide-ranged 57 Trim compressor wheel. Includes 6 month warranty. Look at the turbo compressor map. These are not manufactured by G@rrett, but are of excellent and comparable quality.

It's too bad that they are ripping you off like that. I've always heard good things about the guys in buhl. There is a turbo shop in buhl, but this may be someone that works there ripping people off. My home town is just 30 min away from there(Tuscaloosa) just to give you an idea of where they are. I should call up there and ask them what the deal is.
 
Good to hear. How must boost?

I think my friends will hold together because he's going to drive it for awhile before boosting and let the turbo shaft seat in the bearings and go through some heat cycling.
 
91probegt, good to hear that the turbo works, keep us informed to is functionality, and the turbo worked on your stock manifold? or what manifold you got?
 
turbo works awsome.....boost really hard.....no boost controller on it yet but boost up to 12 fast on the stock gauge and stays there.....im gonna get a boost gauge in tomorrow and hold off awhile before i put the controller on....i had the exhaut shop do my downpipe and they didnt weld the o2 bung so the o2 isnt even hooked up so i dont even wanna push it that hard....also im not sure if the turbo is getting enough oil or not but what do i know...i know the waste gate needs to be fixed cus its hitting the block cus i didnt test fit it the 2nd time i welded the outlet flange on so it leaks some between the block and the manifold..i think im just gonna get an external waste gate.....also my exhaust manifold i bought a kit for the 2.2 f2t and had it welded up....its not that great of a job but it got the job done and i havnt had any real major problems like oil leaks or coolent......work fine cant wait to get it tuned........also heres some pics of my car http://www.cardomain.com/id/riddinclean91pgt
 
DONT lol mines being really weird and shit im taking it off before it messes something up its not worth the risk im exchanging it for a name brand turbo
 
its making a loud hone type sound like a old school medic car theres no cracks in the housings at all no shaft play just being weird so im not gonna take any risks plus im selling the car to someone in 2 weeks...and buying a brand new celica this week
