Default On3performance junk!!!!

I posted this over on lstech but I know some of you guys only get on here. Just thought I'd share my horrible experience and try and save some poor guy from spending his hard on money on a pic worthless paper weight.

would've been easier to just copy and past it here. But yea. its a cheap turbo. Did you have the oil feed and return set up correctly?

Ya sorry, I guess that would've been easier. Ya I bought the specific restrictor for the feed line from him that he said I needed. And I also ran the steel braided line the size he advised me to use. I knew they were cheap to begin with, I didnt plan on running it forever. I just planned on running it so I could drive my car to a couple local events and upgrade after this winter.

Not sure gotta pull the turbo, intercooler, and piping and made sure none of the ceramic pieces or pieces of the compressor housing made it very far. As soon as it blew I killed it and went and got my trailer. So hopefully I can throw a new turbo on and be good to go.

That sucks man! I have about 4000 miles on mine with no problems whatsoever. But I'm upgrading to a pt7675 in a week bc the 65mm turbine is hurting me. Good luck!

Unfortunately there is always a first guy. I haven't seen negative feedback ever before. Unfortunately the turbo industry sucks. I can think of a very well respected shop owner that has beef with Garrett, precision, and turbonetics. I think many of us miss good old master power. For the money it's not a big deal for one out of many happy customers. It sucks for you, but hopefully he stands behind his product. I do have to say Doesn't seem like you have given him more than 5 mins to try and fix it.

This kinda helped me to decide on if I was going to buy one from them. Just the comments he leaves for people on ebay, when he gets negative feedback, proves he must be a azzhole! I read all their feedback the other day when I was bored.
