Well after dyno day one, we had some good and some bad. The good news is the car is getting closer to tuned and was making big hp, the bad news is that after the 3rd pull, I noticed a noise, only to find out that the compressor wheel was wobbling/had come loose, and the nut holding it on seemed like it had backed off.
I have to say, I do not like to bash people on the internet, but Forced Inductions has failed on so many levels with everything we have dealt with them on. To start with they have **** poor customer service, screwed us on some v bands, now their junk gt-88 mystery turbo comes apart as a brand new unit after only 3 dyno pulls. We will be replacing this garbage unit with a Precision and have it back on the dyno shortly.
*rant over*

I would put a cancel payment in with them or the credit card and go elsewhere. They are ok to deal with right up until they ship the product out (if they ship it out). Then, good luck getting ahold of them for ANYTHING...
Why are these guys still allowed as a sponsor on here?

This and 3 other threads kept me from buying the s475, I feel bad for the Guy but I'd rather not be another victim. Sorry hear about the issues, which pte are you going with?

What fustrates me is FI can build just about anything and has a huge amount of knowledge they need to take single turbocharger sales more serious.

Yeah but when it takes five months to ship basic turbos like a turbonetics t76.... That's bullshit. My bw s480 was at my door steps a week and a half after talking to rob. If you going to sell it be up front. Don't give me the run around, telling me it will be two weeks then it turns into months. I have to build cars and can't be waiting around. But I'm done hi jacking this thread. That company has had that problem for years.
