I want to warn everybody about On3 Performance. I purchased a 76mm turbo, 44mm wastegate, and 60lb injectors from them in march. The tips of the injectors were clearly machined through too far from the manufacturer creating large holes or cuts in them. The company said they will not refund my money on them because they are used; but how else to you find out things are bad until you try them? The waste gate came with no fire ring and when they shipped me the new one it was .035 bigger than the hole it goes in. They told me to clean the hole and use something large to beat it in there. And finally the turbo has leaked oil into both sides through the seals since the moment it started up. I had a 1/8" restrictor on the inlet side of the oil and a 5/8" return line like they stated it needed to operate. They insist that none of these errors are their fault and they will not refund my money. They even said they require a restocking fee to return these faulty parts; which sounds to me that they will be puting these parts back on the shelves and selling them to somebody else. So I am trying to spread the word to protect other future victims from this shady operation.

On3 is Chinese junk, which personally, I wouldn't touch.
That said, if you want to use Chinese ****, at least save yourself some money and buy it on ebay. Why the **** would you want to pay an extra $100 per turbo for these dorks to have their name on it?

LOL, like Silver Sleeper said, it's cuz you were giving him money. LOL once I told him I was working with a chevy motor, he didn't want to help me. My question was going to be what size feed lines to the turbos, but didn't even let me get that far.
hhehe

I just don't understand why you guys would not spend just a few more and get a Proven Magnum.
1 Year warranty!!!!
My turbos have gone 8's many times over and they have survived more than one season doing so.
I know its twice the money but you are getting your monies worth.
No one talks crap about me, BECAUSE I DON"T SCREW OVER PEOPLE.
I always answer calls, texts, emails. I always follow up, and I stand behind everything I sell. Our kits are awesome our turbos work.
Ex On3 customers: $50 dollars off any turbo and free shipping until next Friday Sept 7

Completely agree customer service at 100%... I called you on the general question about oil without ever buying any of your products and he answered you where on the phone with me for like 10 minutes... So I did not hesitate to buy your alternator relocation bracket and will call you up when Im ready to upgrade turbos... Make some shirts lol

If they were made in the same place then why do his fail and mine don't.
Also why wouldn't he give a 1 year warranty if its the same turbo.
Also if they were made in the same factory he would have access to all the same turbos that we have, and he doesn't because they're not.
Our turbos are made in Brazil by people that have been making turbos for a long time. We are currently in the process of shifting the final assembly point to the US (FL). In order to have even more quality control.

it buggles my mind why people would even consider cheap chinese turbo's and components.... i tell customer do it right the first time!! if it takes you longer to save up, so be it, but you practically never see great results from these kinds of products, and its for a reason... if you cant afford to do it right... dont do it! when i see these chinese component turbo cars come into the shop for tuning i cringe... i had a turbo truck on the dyno with a chinese wastegate... the gate stuck open.... thank god not closed....

Ford and gm do it to save why shouldn't consumers? It's not even an argument. If we coil all afford underground Lambos we would all have them... Some of us can afford a wore out mustang and a 250.00 turbo. others have 12,000 to drop on a turbo kit... It's pretty simple...
