Dude, buy it.

 

I was just concerned with the 9,XXX miles on the Turbo, Im no expert, but it seemed kinda high....

 

Turbo should last at least 25k man, more if you treat it good! Think of all those stock turbo cars that moms drive around and you know they don't take care of them...

 

just check shaft play, even thou it says no shaft play

How do I check for shaft play??

 

$900 for the entire kit? I'd do reference check on this guy.....remember if it sounds too good to be true....it probably is. I've lost too much money trusting people online to know that this sounds too good. If it is true.....then hop on that thing quick!

fyi... i live in california and i drove to kentucky to pickup a $900 turbo kit. i didnt want to be scammed.

 

I wouldn't trust this guy if I was you. My friend sent him a check for 50 dollars to have him COD it but he never heard back from him. He's a SCAMMER!!!! You got this off thepartstrader.com right, because that is where my friend got it from. Same pics and everything. Like everyone says......if it is 2 good to be true than it is. Pick it up if you can, if you think he is legit but I would not send him any money.

 

wear a laytex glove(fins are sharp) and try too move(back and forth) the shaft parallel too the inlet, and also perpendicular to the inlet.

if the shaft "moves" at all, I would not buy it.

Yeah dude, SAME site, I just wrote the person an email asking for his phone number and all that. HMMMM now you got me wondering, DAMM I was all happy to, but yeah "Too good to be true" and thats exactly what I was thinking!!

I'll see what he has to say to the email!! Thanks Everyone!!

 

turbo's last alot longer than 25k miles guys, i haven't heard of a turbo under 70k needing to be replaced and i'm talking about dsm turbos', so i might be wrong, but i wouldnt worry about it.

 

FYI I was stating the bare minimum....it all depends on how it's driven and taken care of (i.e. what type of oil, proper cool downs, long or short runs, etc).

 

AND if its not a SCAM, Ill let you guys know!!

 

ya would be a good idea to go pick it up.....since it sounds "too good to be true"

 

That's awfully cheap!!

 

As the plot gets MORE AND MORE interesting.. I was poking around EBAY ...
Same picture as above .... hmmmm

DON'T DO IT MAN! THIS GUY IS FRAUD! My buddy emailed this guy over a month ago and he sent these mint pics of the kit. I live in Canada, but as soon as my buddy said he had a relative that lives close to him that can pick it up, NO MORE REPLIES! People like that makes me want to go back and do some old high school **** and just start punching peeps in the face for living.

 

that 2nd pictures looks excatly like this auction off ebay.

I'm 100% sure that dood is a scammer. hehehe, just look at the pix where all the hardware is all layed out, it's PHOTOCHOPPED.

 

if you can notify your police and ebay and paypal. i got scammed through paypal for a **** load $2,300 and they didnt do **** about it and wouldnt give info to me on the guy. we have established that this guy is a scammer and if the right people find him first he will get busted. so go tell someone dammit.

 

I live right next to him, if u want I can check it out

 

DO IT MAN! CHECK THIS FRAUD OUT AND MAYBE SNAP A PIC OF THIS LOSER SO WE CAN POST HIM FOR THE FRAUD THAT HE IS.

 

Tell him you will buy it, then when he says ok, tell him On Point EK is gonna pick it up for you and see what happens. Good luck.
