Its no excuse but you have to remember you are paying 1/4cof the price of what Trust want. IF we are lucky thats mostly down to support/service and maybe the occassional quality probpm me your number. If my oil line will fit yours then you can have mine as i never plan on using them

I rekon keep going with Mr Eiji

Make sure he is aware of the 170 page thread on SAU which clearly notes he is not giving warranty where his product has failed.

As much as I like Kando, this does tarnish my opinion somewhat... I feel its only fair you get a replacement. You should offer to mail him the CHRA in exchange for another (mail to TW is at your expense).

Thats probably the fairest option, coz then you dont get to keep 2 turbos with one that will potentially not fail.

lol...u got no hope..its a well used item, whos to say it hasnt seen excessive temps or something..

cmon guys we all know the car game, stuff always breaks, you get what you pay for, its worth 1/3 what you pay for it the minute its used, never expect a miracle and warranties arent worth the paper they are written on...

besides, It may have lasted ages like that had you not pulled it off and noticed the damage..

its 400$ for a new core, or what is it 100$ maybe to replace the wheel...suck it up and move on...

I guess your hormonal moaning can make some level of sense at times ARTZ lol

that feeling is mutual my friend :laugh:

Have you tried asking for a compromise, e.g. you ship the turbo back and he repairs it free of charge? Does the seller offer any sort of warranty on the product?

I beleive he was offered a replacement wheel fitment but he has to pay for the wheel...it would of been nice to throw in the wheel..

if u do this, should try a billet comp wheel while its being done...either way its not like its an expensive fix..

Ask him to send a Billet fitted CHRA at a cut price to come to a mutual agreement. Like $150 or something for the new CHRA.

Thats GOT to cover the production cost and mailing lol.

On another note, a DIRECT COMPETITOR of Kando delayed shipping to me by 3 weeks on some trivial item and when I asked them what sort of feedback am I meant to give you now? They replied good feedback, your getting a full refund and keeping the item. Were really sorry messed up that bad. That was nice of them I thought!

battery, see if you can open a dispute case with PayPal and see if they can help you out.

I think he is well within his rights to deny a replacement so its not something I would start a paypal dispute over.

Yeh i did that, this is whats most concerning that he doesn't care and won't even reply to my emails anymore.

That's pretty much what i was after but no luck

Yeh my plan was to just buy a turbine wheel and pay to have it fitted here, not interested in waiting 3 months for a turnaround sending it back to him.. May do the billet wheel sort of at a cross roads trying to decide if i should do springs, injectors, cams and a retune or just fix the turbine wheel and go...

Its probably gonna be cheaper to just buy a new chra with the billet wheel for a couple of hundred. I think fitted and balanced of new Angeles would cost similar anyway

Worked out a deal with him, I send the CHRA back he fits a new turbine wheel, billet comp wheel, balances and posts back to me for the price of the billet wheel. Not completely satisfied but that's the best Im gonna get out of them..

That's not really too bad at all, you could have been a lot worse off!

Don't change anything else... I'm keen to see a direct comparison between the wheels to see if I order one haha

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
