Keep your eyes peeled for them on the classifieds, craigslist and ebay. Kinda hard to do anything with just two turbos, gotta have piping and whatnot. Hope you find em and cut their hands off at the forearm.

They actually moved the manifolds, intercooler, and other stuff to get the turbos out of the packaging. There was some other stuff stolen, but what flips me out is there was probably $100k of other stuff in the shop they could have walked out with and they decided to get those turbos and a couple of other things. Somebody wanted those turbos and I won't rest until I find the sorry *** SOB that took them from me

Default Sorry to hear

Search the FI section for any historical APS posts asking about turbo damage. You never know.

Wonder if home owner's insurance would cover them? Then you can take the money and get some better ones instead of those time bombs.

If someone had to sift through a bunch of other things to get to some turbo's and knew exactly where they were, I'd put money on it being an inside job and/or somebody you know Gomer.

Good luck finding them. Let me know if it's anybody near Atlanta that needs a new mudhole stomped in their ***.

x2 on the second sentence. Those turbos are knockoffs and will be better suited to hold the door open to your shop.

My shop is in Albertville, AL. About half way between Huntsville and Birmingham. It had to have been someone that knew exactly what they were after, because they walked past close to $100k worth of other parts to steal those shitty turbos.

Hope these are not them. It says IL in the ad but that doesn't mean anything.

I wouldn't put those on my car. I would buy the LG replacements or talk to Jose at Forced Inductions to see if he can get you some better units

Those were center sections only, not complete turbo's in the classifieds section.

These aren't for my car, they are for a customer's car.. so I'm needing the turbos that he wants. I'm going to try and talk him into something different.

Damn that sucks! Good luck on your search! Make sure you beat the Sh*t out of the guy so he won't do it again. Make sure you upgrade your security system at your shop. Like camera's in every angle.
