Got bit by the turbo bug.

I think what blunt is implying is that a shady seller most likely tried to pass off a homebrew product under the name of a reputable manufacturer. Furthermore, the implication is that instead of tarnishing the image of a good manufacturer, the OP should have brought these defects up to the manufacturer via private communication prior to calling him out in public. Finally, what he is trying to say was it was not fair to buy something claimed as something from a third party, then going and badmouthing the alleged manufacturer without verification that said product was in fact from their manufacturing.

Why didn't you call me? You bought it used from Will. It was a quicky cobbled together build that I did for my vert. Will new the score when I sold it to him. I fabricated the parts and obviously my welding skills are limited.

I don't fabricate our kits. They are done professionally and had you really decided to go big and buy new parts from me you would have received high quality parts.

Bitching on the internet while never voicing concerns to the person or company that you are upset with is LAME and childish.

So what you actually bought was a TCD manifold, rebuilt vintage 80s T04b turbo with new 60 trim compressor wheel and a downpipe cobbled together by yours truly.

Again, you didn't buy these parts from TCD! You bought them second hand from Will.

Well if it is his product it should be a issue.. Like most manufactures
He'll need to stand behind his product good or bad! So I would believe it's
very warranted...
Oh and fair to who? The guy who paid a lot of money for "good" parts!
but didn't get them..

Or the guy who took his money?

For what its worth I would have contacted Todd at TCD before posting about this sad excuse. I find it hard to believe thats his crap. but bottom line is youve brought his name and company's reputation into this thread whether its warranted or not. It doesnt seem fair to me

This mango idea is revolutionary! I shall go procure a sack of said tropical fruit for just this purpose.

[ieatmango]

i reccomend beating the seller with a sack of mangos it'll hurt enough to send a message and then you can eat the delicious evidence. lol

[einstein57]

think i had the feed to high

[Farbin Kaiber]

Not enough penetration in some of those first shots. At least they arn't charge pipes.

Here are the updated pics. I have no welding skills to speak of but the things is now air tight. Sealed off all the ends and blew in to it till my cheeks felt like there were going to explode.

[einstein57]

I bought it "used" even thought it appears to have never been used. The story is this was purchased off of Todd personally. I put my hands over the ends and blew and you could feel jets of air coming from everywhere. I re did the seams and now its air tight. It looks like crap now cause i did not completely grind down all the prior welds but it should hold. I'll post pictures in the morning. I'd hit up TCD about it but I have no way of confirming this is his actual product.

Aw hell noz! I wouldnt have tried to reweld it to make it better. Would have been better to be patient and send that ish back. you could still try !!
