Fastrotor Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well im sad to report this guy is a Bad trader, partly. Bought the turbo for $400 + freight, arrived no probs etc Open the box, all there, look at turbo, yep shaft play as in post, then i flip it over to look at turbine..... and find its got chunks missing out of the blades... Ie .. its Stuffed ...... So i put turbine housing in vice and loosen the bolts, center spins easily indicating it has been previously removed (anyone who has pulled turbos apart will know it takes alot of effort with a soft faced hammer , loosening the bolts as you go so as not to let it fly off and damage the wheel, to get apart once they have been run for abit) Took the photo below. Anyway i gave him the chance to respond, his responce to me saying there were chunks missing was, "i put everything i had in the box" ... then i posted this pic to him showing what i meant, and got no responce.... Next day i asked for $100 back to cover damage, $300 is pretty good for a stuffed turbo !, but still no responce. So all i can do is post this and warn others...... such a shame. Other than this , the transaction went smooth etc Gary Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/94063-fs-stock-rb25vg30-bb-t3-turbo/#findComment-1773812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
