Re: My Vouch Thread (Tha Shocka)
Great guy, purchased a fuel pump and injectors off him. I sent him paypal and he had everything shipped out same day with a tracking number, very quick and easy to work with.

Re: My Vouch Thread (STHPERFORMANCE)
My expereince with SthPerformance has been so so.
Sit back relax for its gonna be a story to tell.
It all started by me ordering a Precesion GT3255E from him. He said yes we can get it, and gave me a price. Okay, best one i found so far, so i decide to go ahead and order. I make installment payments and the turbo is paid off within a 2-3 week period. So my turbo finally shipps. After waiting 5 days for shipping. I finally get it back.
First thing i notice when i open it up that the turbo is packaged nicely etc which i was happy for. Now apon inspection of the turbo, everythign looks good. I look at the blades, no chips, i got my 4bolt discharge which i order. One thing that was weird is that the etching on the comp housing said GT32, versus what i originally ordered which was a GT3255E. I have seen a few pictures on honda-tech where if they ordered a 55E it would be etched on the comp housing along with the full model number. So i found this kinda weird.
Everything looks pretty good. Now for the kicker. When ever anyone gets a new turbo, i percesionally check for shaft play, what I did notice was there was shaft play on this new turbo. So i said, what the hell, this can't be right. So after work i go over to my friends house to show him. He looks at it, its looks good, but he also comments on the unaccesptable shaft play for a new turbo. So now i need a 2nd opinion and take it to my tuner who has been tuning JGTC type cars in Asia and where race teams fly HIM out to just tune cars. He looks at it, and says looks good, and I ask him about the shaft play, he says, yes there is noticeable shaft play with this turbo. I asked him if i should send it back, and he says if its a new turbo yes send it back because its unacceptabe. After further diagnostics of the turbo, he takes a micrometer and meastures the blades. What do you know its only 71MM. When i specifically ordered one with a 76MM comp blade. The 55E in the model number designates the 76MM comp blade and a To4E comp housing.
So not only that it had unacceptable shaft play for a new turbo, it was the wrong tubo over all. So I let SthPerformance of the two issues I have. He says send it back. Which I do. Sending the turbo back to him once costed me $36. Thats fine, I'll pay shipping back to them to rectify the issue.
So about a couple weeks go by, i finally get a AIM message from SthPerformance saying that he needs $38 for shipping back to me. From my understanding of how a comapny works and when THEY screwed up, they eat shipping costs back to the customer.
Right now i'm pretty mad that he is asking me $38 more for shipping when it was THEM that originally messed up the order and not getting the right now. SthPerformance says that they paid shipping TO and from Precesion and now i have to pay shipping back to me. I think thats complete BS, because the company has to eat up the costs for THEIR MISTAKE.
Heres the kicker, SthPerformance said that Precesion said, that the first turbo i got DID have a 76MM compressor blade and did not find any shaft play. Someone is lying here, because my tuner measured it himself and found a 71MM comp blade and the turbo was obviously labeled GT32 which means it only has the 71MM blade. The next thing that was brought up is that he sais the GT32 comes standard with the T04B housing. Yes i do know that thats why i ordered a GT3255E, the E at the end designated the T04E comp housing.
So right now its just a he said she said game and I'm tired of dealing with SthPerformance.
Cliff Notes For The Lazy.
1. Ordered turbo, received it, wrong turbo and had unacceptable shaft play for a new turbo.
2. sent it back paid $34 bucks out of my pocket for THIER mess up.
3. Get a AIM msg from SthPerformance asking $38 for shipping BACK TO ME.
4. SthPerformance said that Precesion said the turbo i got was the correct one i ordred, but apon clsoer inpection before sending it back, it was the WRONG one.
5. Now I'm out of $74 in just shipping cost because SthPerformance screwed up the order.
6. Saying a item was suppose to ship out today, but obviously the tracking number still says it didnt.
Bottom line, if your gonna just order a plain jane turbo, SthPerformance is the one you want to order from, but once there are issues, theres too many middle men you and SthPerformance have to deal with and its all a He said she said game.
Just wanted to let everyone know, after a month on getting the first turbo that was wrong, i Finally got the correct turbo in today, 2-23-2005 and it was the correct Precesion GT3255E turbo that I originally ordered.
At the end, I got what I ordered and i'm pretty happy.
