Anyone had dealings with the above company??

[cmgreen]

Dont bother. Go to turboactive, better service, better reman product.

[DCM]

Bit late, got a turbo from them, and it is donald ducked.

[cmgreen]

Have u fitted it? What car it from?

[DCM]

It was fitted by an experienced mechanic onto my Renault Espace, had good oil supply etc, engine had idled on the ramp, then into first outside to steam clean when it started making a horrible noise.

[cmgreen]

If u paid by credit card claim it back, he will deffo replace then. But he has a reputation in the turbo business for this

[DCM]

paid by debit card, darn, well, see if he wants to play ball, if not, may end up being a small claim court job.

How the *ell has the compressor back plate fractured like that?

I've used a few Turbo Companys over the past 15 years, and all the best people from those companys seem to be under one roof now, CR Turbo's.

[DCM]

No idea, but from experience in engineering, it was either a) already fractured when fitted, or b) fitted incorrectly, as it is only cast alloy.

NOT A PROBLEM WITH A DEBIT CARD STEVE. YOU CAN STILL CLAIM THRU CARD SERVICES WITHIN YOUR BANK.WITH REGARDS THE TURBO MY SONS VARIABLE VANE 320D BMW WENT LAST YEAR AND THEY QUOTED £1250 FOR A NEW ONE. GOT ONE FOR £350 REPLACEMENT REBUILD.NUMBER SLIP MY MIND A MIN BUT IF YOU WANT MORE INFO I CAN DIG OUT PAPER WORK.THESE ARE TURBO REBUILD SPECIALISTS

Cheers, to be honest, it was a punt in the dark to be able to shift my car on, so now spent to much on it already so cutting my losses, just not impressed that what was suppose to be a fully serviceable turbo wasn't, and now they are trying to blame the garage, which I know are not at fault as I personally know BOTH the guys who did the job.

Guess this will be another head banging car moment!!

looks like wasnt balanced correctly so compressor wheel hit backplate, or backplate screws were touching compressor wheel.
send it to turbo technics, top notch job same price as everyone else, or turbo-rebuild.co.uk good lads know what there doing
