A little background... Johnnyredline bought a used t04r from me about 6-8 months ago.. I ran the turbo for approx 1k miles.. in that time, it ran great. now after he installs it 6-8 months later.. he claims oil is leaking out of the hotside/CHRA mating surface. frankly... I dont see how this is possible.
ANYWAYS.
now he's bugging me on AIM for me to pay the $300 rebuild fee. he is now claiming that if i dont pay it.. he will slander me on the forums and its also threatening to fly over and discuss this face to face. he lives in VA or something, and I'm in cali..
I ran the turbo for 1k miles.. it worked great.. I installed it properly. now he uses it and the oil is POURING out of the turbo.. so much so that it leaks out of the hotside/CHRA surface.. make sense to you?
your guys thoughts?
JonnyFury: I'm sending the turbo to phenix turbos to get it rebuilt. You can pay the $300 charge and call it even
JonnyFury: ck1jzpowr: the exhaust housing bolts had fallen out while driving around... its comon bolt size...
JonnyFury: seeing that you said the bolts fell out while driving around, that is most likely how its blown. if at least one of those bolts comes lose, the heat sheild around the cartridge comes lose and will fuck up the shaft

ck1jzpowr: well..lets put it like this.. the bolts didnt fall out while driving.. i just didnt include them... i forgot where i put them. I will ot send you any money for the turbo.. it was perfect when i sent it out, and since its been like 6 months since i sold it to you.. i have no idea whats happened in those 6 months. your on your own.
Auto response from JonnyFury: I am away from my computer right now.
JonnyFury: the turbo sat on my shelf for 6 months and you know it. since you are going back on your word and not helping me in the least bit, and its inconvienent for you to help out the community but yet you can afford a $35k vehicle. you sure are a great asset.:-! what comes around goes around and you will reap what you sow for scamming me and who ever else you ripped off.
JonnyFury: i am sending the turbo to phenoix turbos and when they call me and give me a quote, i will be expecting you to pay for this charge. if not, there will be problems here and you will be exploited on the forums. i might even make a trip out to cali with my buddy whos a pilot and we can figure this out face to face. im sure hoping it doesnt come to that.

ck1jzpowr: frankly.. I dont know what to say.. you bought a used part... worked when I used it.. doesnt work when you install it.. I wont be paying you anything, so quit asking... knock me on the forums.. frankly I dont give a damn. If you would like to fly over here so we can meet up face to face over a 400 rebuild thats fine with me as well.. you still wont get the money your asking for.
