Default Good news!

For thoes of you that remember, a few weeks ago I had a turbo oil starvation problem because of a mis-assembled AN line, my turbos were getting some oil but probably not enough as they died after under 40 miles of light load with just a few quick wot runs to check out AFRs.

I just got the tracking numbers for the turbos, they were compleatly rebuilt free of charge by the vendor I purchased them from, no questions asked. I was almost 100% sure when I sent them off I had just wasted money on shipping but they really took care of me even when they didn't have to do a damn thing, I suspect I'll be doing all of my turbo business with them in the future if they can keep up this kind of good service

Now for the long wait for that UPS box My poor N/A car can't wait to bolt thoes turbos back up

No I probably can't, but I can send them a link to this thread, they have lots of turbos in stock for better prices than anyone I have come across, they also are helpful over the phone and through email.

If you bought it from them, they should warranty it. Some do, though and some don't. Glad it worked out for you. I hated to hear they had gone bad that quick.

I think that is was a gift. If I bought a turbo from you, installed it wrong I wouldn't expect you to repair it for free. I think it was VERY nice that they did, but I would have expected to pay something.
