Got bit by the turbo bug.

[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

[Farbin Kaiber]

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

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

[ieatmango]

OP did you precure a sack of mangos or are you going to let farbin handle your fights for you?

i shall bring a sack of my own to help, i'm always up for mangos lol hence my name.

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?



just my

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.

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.

I should have refreshed before I posted that.

It has your name on it regardless. It changes things now. In my opinion at least. I wouldn't let anything go out of my hands that I wasn't proud of. It's like a 3d business card. Regardless of the paper it's printed on, it's still got your info on it.

you dont understand my point. op didnt even know at the time where this crap came from. Yet he brings TCD"s name into it before confirming where the parts originated from.. It looks like it did indeed come from Todd but its something he hacked together for his own use and then sold later to a buyer who knew what he was getting. It would be a different story if the op bought it directly from TCD and wasnt happy.. It doesnt take much to trash a companies good name in the niche bmw market on the internet. Thats all im saying. I would have known what i was talking about before posting

if i bought a turbonetics turbo used from farbin and something was problematic in the manufacturing of the turbo, i'd complain all about it on the internet while dealing with the manufacturer like most folks would. the point is he bought a product that shouldn't have been sold to anyone and now because he complained everyones pissed.

onward with the build or i shall empty my sack of mangos and fill it with coconuts and beat you.

onward i say

[Farbin Kaiber]

I was wondering how you feel about papaya?

[psyber_0ptix]

If you were to buy a product (camber plates) from an employee, say Jim @ GroundControl, from a company that specializes in the very product (camber plates) you sought to purchase (Ground Control) ....

Be honest with yourself, would you hold that product you were purchasing from this individual to the standards of the company he represents?

I would.

If i were sold a cheese grater expecting it to be camber plates, I'd be upset.
