Anyone work with PROTURBO of finland?

[flyingbrick]

I am in the middle of turboing the 325i. so after realizing that the TD manfold is a piece i ditch it. I order the manifold adapter from pro turbo. that was way back on 10-21-03.

285$ to ther account. thsi is after notifying them and geting insturctions to do so.

Now after numerus emails and excuses like the "power was out" i still dont have my manifold adaper......

how long would it take to ship it to the west coast??? what are my options for geting my money back?? DID i get screwed???

one final question, how much is a flight to helsinki? becuse im going to go get it if they wont ship it!!!!!!.

Hey, mine took like two months to get, but they had to custom make it with a T4 flange. They said they had problems getting the flange. Kinda weird someone else is having a problem as well. A guy on e30sport had connections with them, That is who I bought from. His name was swartz on the forum. Not sure where he is now.

here i am. ive been dealing with them now for over a year. my price is exactly the same as theirs. i am a dealer. $285 shipped to your door. the us dollar isnt worth crap in europe anymore so the exchange rate is slowly getting crappy. so the price went up $10. any flange u want delivered. they dont speak great english and sometimes dont email u back. im here on every forum its easy threw me let me know thanks guys

[SickE30]

what's the deal with that piece? does it coincide with the td manifold or is it a whole new manifold? If it coinsides does the td manifold require any porting for peak power gains?

[swartz]

it bolts right to ur stock manifolds. 2into1 for the turbo. then u need to custom bend ur downpipe ect

[SickE30]

So your product bolts on to the M20 manifold and the turbo piping then hooks onto your piece? Is that correct? If this is the case I like that idea.

my friend and i bought our m10 turbo manifolds from them.....i think it took about two months, for the manifolds to arrive at our doors (they had to make 'em).

and yeah, they're english isn't the best and sometimes they don't email u back. but i was satisfied....and if i had the chance, i would buy from them again.

Im the only one that took less than 2-3 weeks to get here, if I remember correctly.

[swartz]

2 of mine took 2 weeks exactly. i think the adapters with t3 flanges are premade and they just send them out

[diegom6]

why you didn't made one in your local area? I did mine...it's not so hard....well, a guy did it for me, since he knows how to weld...

here is mine, I builded it from the car,I mean welding in the car to get the correct messures, a crappy copi of the Pro turbo, :D

[swartz]

285 shipped to your door any flange let me know i am a direct dealer with proturbo for about a year now

[flyingbrick]

I wish I had known that before.........

oh well, just another delay to tack onto the project

[flyingbrick]

you have got to love these guys.....

My name is Nick Carbaugh, I had my bank send a payment of $285USD for a manifold adapter on 10-21-03. When can I expect the adapter to arrive?

My address is 1731 East Lake Sammamish Place SE, Sammamish, WA 98075 located on the East coast of the United States.

If you have a shipping number or anything to verify shipping that would make me very happy.
