I just freaked out a little, i'm on a tight budget (being a GM tech doesn't pay what it use to), and my two year build is finally coming together after scraping and saving.

89LS I sent Jose a email and this is his reply, I hope this helps make
you feel better about the situation. Good luck with the build

Alot of people really don't understand what we do. We are an engineering house, we CNC turbo parts for 65+ other companies and we dispose of many old turbos and OEM turbos, new or used that are no longer in service. I discussed this situation with blake and tonya yesterday and we felt bad for the kid. New turbo project, not alot of money to spend, even though he is partly at fault as are we, we feel the guy needs a break and we plan to provide him with a brand new charger , no questions asked. Good kid, rotten luck and misplaced on our part....we will take care of him for sure. I don't want to see young hot rodders get discouraged by something like this regardless if they do business with us or elsewhere. Its good for the sport to have the young guys.

Hopefully it all works out for you. This is a huge plus of being on forums.. when you go public with stuff like this, it will usually get straightened out, especially when you have presented nothing but the facts from both sides. Whatever their excuse/reasoning may be, all that matters is that you guys settle on something.

Thanks mike, they have been in touch with me through e-mail now and are being very helpful, i don't plan on letting them hand me over a new turbo with no extra cash on my part, i don't feel that is fair? I just want them to know i didn't bring this up just to get a freebie out of it

Nice piece of P.R. work, but just one fix in a number issues doesn't make me feel any better. This thread is 4 pages long and from last year and this is the first that you guys have posted.

There is a lot of not very smart guys in this thread. If you ship comp cams a cam. With no info on the inside of the box. What do you expect them to do with it?

I have shipped meziere a water pump to inspect. With nothing more than a letter saying I wish for it to be inspected and contact info. I got a call just to clarify what I wanted.

I don't think I could have expected anything different than being completely. sol if I would have shipped a box Of parts to a manufacturing business with no contact info or info on work desired.

I think your lucky they took care of it. I probably would have told you, your screwed and better luck next time. Lesson learned.

Nothing like a good insult to start your Saturday, Thanks bud ..... This wasn't caused by stupidity, it was caused by mistakes. There is not a huge difference between Meziere calling you from your info sheet and FI calling me from the contact info printed on the Fedex label...... I know i should have sent info with it, it was a mistake, people get busy and excited and things get forgotten. I know they didn't have to help me, and i would have been perfectly happy with my old turbo back, even if it was found and not rebuilt.... but i am very grateful for them helping me out, i'm just trying to finish my budget build like tons of other people.

Wow, I'm just glade it's taken care of, both parties said they could of done things different. Forced Induction is far from a perfect company and most of us are far from perfect people.

Again I'm glad it's taken care and the guy can get on with his build.
