Re: turbo is going back on tomorrow (rbf351)
Hmmm... from what i heard is that there was lots of misc dirt and metal particals in the center housing... since it was christmas RevHard Mfg decided to send you out right away another turbo before they inspected the bad turbo and give you a polished housing at no extra charge...its not cool to blame some one else when they tried to help you out and it was your fault...!!!!

Re: turbo is going back on tomorrow (camp1320.com)
your riught i should have blamed revhard since they don't make the turbo
and i do appreciate that they gave me a new one, but i didn't like the fact that they said the crap that was found inside the turbo was from me. there is no possible way i got metal inside there. the turbo was bad from the start

this is because the oily residue that they use when they oil it up. happened on my garrett t3t4 for the first few days, look inside the exhaust turbine blades and it should be oily, this is normal
good luck
