Agreed! get a 6262 that spools about the same and makes less power!

^turbo going out has nothing to do with it being a dsm or not.
sarcasm cant over internet i guess:Flush:

Yea surprisingly I was able to refrain from putting a hole in a wall after it happened. Was still Pretty pissed though :-/

[KcGsXrated]

i liked the playing with the turbine wheel after a while just seemed like you were plotting against the company, Good luck with the turbo!

[Silk]

So just a little update

I overnighted the turbo on monday for like $104 or something retarted. It got delivered by 10 am on teusday. I give FP a call today and apparantly they havent even been able to even take a look at it. Really irritating to waste the much money on shipping only to have your turbo sit on a shelf somewhere. If they're so busy then they shouldnt have told me to ship it out so quickly.

Not sure if its just my luck but this is the 2nd FP turbo I've blown on this car but and patients are wearing thin.....

Their products are awesome when they work lol. That is why everyone goes to them.

They are a small shop though and get backed up very easily. I'd never expect them to look at a turbo quick. I did the same thing when I shipped my stock turbo to get the black conversion...took them like 3 weeks to even tell me if the core was acceptable.

Hopefully they get you something soon though, that sucks.

i think it'll be worth the wait though.

[Silk]

Definitely worth the wait, but I've been waiting all winter lol

Car was also supposed to hit the dyno this friday :-(

[Murlo26]

I know how that goes...my car was supposed to be on the dyno last Friday....and that didn't happen.

Can't wait to see what your car ends up making, should be awesome!

Update

FP inspected the turbo and the conclusion is that the turbine wheel somehow drooped off the shaft after a hot shutdown causing the balance to be thrown off.

Because I sent in a used turbo to be upgraded their will be no warranty but they're helping me out on the replacement cost.

Should have the new unit late next week

Lesson learned, dont buy used parts :-/

[turbotalon1g]

Do u think it was a hot shutdown?

At least its getting fixed.
