So I found a shop online That rebuilds turbo's and I called up the guy he came to my house (my car doesn't. Run) and he picked up my turbo and I gave him 250$ to start and I needed rush for fixxfest12 but is been a week now and I keep calling and he doesn't pick up he reads my text but doesn't reply. I went to the website and it has no address for the shop all I have is his # is there anyway to get an address or info? Plz help

>>13891805
>>13891805

Why not just google the shop name?
>>13891805
Live and learn, OP.
>found a shop online
>didn't check for shop address on website
>not a recommendation from a friend
>paid in advance
You got his number.
He must have an account from a cellphone carrier.
Try to look it up.
Maybe you'll end up paying a few bucks to find out, but you can.
>>13891805
You seem so dumb you deserve your turbo being stolen.
What's the shop site? You can see who's paying for the domain, and get their info from there

lol what a fucking moron
>>13891805
Hahahahaha!
Well I guess we learned something today OP.
It's really quite common now to see shit like this happening, especially in urban areas. Lots of "tuning" shops that don't know what they are doing and then rip people off for half ass work.
Be glad it was just a turbo that you lost, not your engine or something way more expensive. And besides, for $250 you can buy a whole new turbo or do it yourself.
Kinda funny actually I have a lightly used K04 sitting on my desk right now. It was from a Mazdaspeed 3 that I got from a friend who is a Mazda mechanic and took it off because they replaced the wrong part and the turbo wound up not being the issue so he just gave it to me instead because it was used and couldn't be put on another customers car or something.

Uh..You buy junkyard turbochargers or something?
What a coincidence I just happen to have a turbo sitting here that some faggot paid me $250 to take. I'll sell it to you for $175
>>13892111
yeah?
unless he is building a supercar then there is no reason not to buy a used one from somewhere. I understand if your building a really powerful car to drop $1000 on a Borg Warner or something, but if he were doing that then he wouldn't be shitposting on /o/ about losing $250 for being a dumbass.
>>13892205
$250, could get an HX4 or something
>not posting the number
>>13892205
I bought a Chinese chra for $140. 17k miles, its fine. Cheaper than a rebuild
>>13892218
holy shit yeah those make like 30psi. Aren't those from a ranger or something?
>>13892236
You guys tempt me down the road, I've thought about boosting my car but something low like 8 psi.
>>13892256
cummins engines
>>13892466
So it right then. I only used the Chinese causd I didn't want to spend $400 on a new tarbo, or $70 on a rebuilt kit + having a shop balance it.
I wouldn't recommend Chinese tarbo to anyone. Only did this in a pinch.
Look at YouTube vids of legit vs china knockoffs

Don't feel bad OP, my cousin gave the title of his '65 gto to a buyer with only the down payment in hand. He is a fucking mongoloid that ended up giving it away for $1500, after he was caught driving without a licence and forced to sell it.
You're not his level of full retard.
>>13892557
I'm looking at gaining like 40hp at peak, not something crazy so I don't expect one to explode.
Plus there are other turbos out there from factory cars that are dirt cheap.
>>13892604
When you add up all the lines, pipes, mounts, and other parts, the cost of a good turbo and manifold is going to be about half of the total cost
>he paid in advance
>>13892224
Or the site
>>13891805
OP is a troll and this is Bait
>paying someone to rebuild a turbo
It's literally like a fucking 10 minute job.
Requires 2 tools.
Fuck.
>>13893249
If you want to rebuild soon after..
>>13893688
youre dumb and have never rebuilt a turbo
HURR DURR REBALANCING
index the fucking shafts
bam, 1 hour job with a $30 kit.
I've rebuilt four turbos and they are all still in my vehicles running flawlessly. One has over 100k on it which is longer than it lasted from the fucking factory.
