You need to be talking to jose direct and no one else. They need to step up and take care of you somehow. You have plenty of proof with the tracking info and insurance. I still believe as many turbos and parts they have around they could come up with something to replace it. Like I said I've never had any prob with them but I do feel for you I have had similar issues with ups.

...these guys are terrible. Absolute worst company we have ever dealt with.
Ordered two full 4 inchv band setups. Got one full vband setup, and an extra flange and was charged $280!!! Called and called, never got all my parts, and we got over charged!

I've dealt with them for years. Buying turbo's and having them rebuilt. Never a problem.
I can see being frustrated about the missing turbo when you don't deal much with shipping. It's very common to put an info page inside the box to make it easier for the person receiving the product. We always put our name, phone number and a brief discription of the issue with the part.
Hope it gets sorted out for ya.

Not talking **** or anything Slohawk, just saying... I've seen it before.
Big spenders get treated differently that's all.
Sent my turbo in for repair. Got it back. They said it was fixed. They did nothing to it. Took it to a local guy who took care of it in two days and didn't dick me around for 3-4 weeks ( like FI did).
Plus turbo was brand new with 0 miles. But some how they told me it was used. Awesome costumer service!

Ordered turbo on a Tuesday, was suppose to be on the shelf. And go out Friday, well needless to say one week they were waiting on the compressor wheels next it was housings....then finally 4 weeks later it showed up.

I don't know why anyone buys from these guys. Yes there are a few happy guys here but it looks like a 50/50 ratio. And that sucks! There is no freaking way they have so many turbos they don't know what is what. You didn't send a tooth pic to a tooth pic factory! And if there was no paperwork what idiot tossed the box the instant they noticed no paperwork? Are they that stupid?
Hell I look at the return address of every piece of mail or parcel I get before I ever open it!

I think just about all the turbo builders have bad customer service, it's one thing to have a off the shelf turbo drop shipped it's another when they have to mix and match parts for different combinations. Yes they have a spotty reputation but I don't see anyone stepping in and taking over the custom stuff and FI's pricing is very competitive.
I did call fedex too just for the hell of it, They said since it was signed for by a current employee their job is done, it is now their responsibility. Already knew this though. They did fax me a copy of the signature though.
If it where me, I would talk to Jose and say I want to settle this and move on, can we set a date with the next couple of days that we just move on and you and I make thing right?
They just got back to me, sounds like they are gonna make it right! I can't wait to delete all this crap and move on. Would love to be able to say they took care of me like I've heard!

are you saying turbo works was supposed to have machined the housing but it had a interference issue when you got it from the seller?

I spoke with Jose and what they will probably do if they can’t find it is replace it with a better unit. The unit the pictures you sent are of a GT42 based charger with a older style TV series based some wheel and a old Detroit diesel TV based compressor cover. Jose suggests that a more powerful unit and better unit reliability wise would be a S400SX-80 turbo. 80mm ETT compressor wheel which moves 119lbs/min of air vs the old TV wheel which moves 107lbs/min. Also the 83mm turbine wheel which is a direct replacement to the 82mm GT wheel you had. Also it would be a T4 housing and drop right in to the print of your old charger. This charger would support about 100hp more then the charger you sent in and spool the same as well.
Thanks

Ok, I can't speak for Jose, but the situation is unfortunate for this poster as both parties are somewhat at fault for his turbo going missing. Also I think a lot of people think we are a regular turbo seller. We CNC turbo parts for 65+ companies which some of them you may buy from and know. We try to get parts out as fast as we can but the demand sometimes dictates what we can do and not the other way around. Also if you order a turbo some parts that maybe on the shelf at the beginning of the day maybe gone by lunch time. We may go through 10 75mm comp covers in a span of 3 hours or 15 80mm wheels in a day. So parts are moving in and out fast. We try to take care of everyone as best as we can.
