Alright guys got the turbo back but when primo welded it, it cracked on the inside of the hot side where it bolts up to the manifold i brought it back to them and all they told me was they cant do anything. I was piss off but what can i do it is an used turbo and you never know what could happen. Other then that primo did a good job thanks. Anyways so i bought some thermo heat seal and did some patching on it hopes it works or at less slow down the cracking a little lol. Will post up some picture soon.

Primo has lost quite a bit of popularity here lately. Why were the welding the turbo? Did it crack during welding, or after welding while in-use?

Im not sure how we've lost popularity with anyone besides you, waiting for a product that hasn't been introduced and is still in test/preproduction, if it was ready for everyone you know you would be the first to know, im sorry we dont like products with our name going out with out the propped fitment or quality, anyway,

The crack in the turbine housing was there before I even touched the turbo, it was a hairline crack inside the exhaust housing in a badly cast portion of the the turbo, it wasn't noticeable until when it was welded the oil and carbon dissipated from the crack showing it up, if it was a clean fresh crack I would have known it cracked after the welds, I would love to have been able to fix this problem but it is a used part that had cracked before,
thanks for the kind words, and like I said please if there's anything I can do for any of you please just let me know,

Jesse, that's why I said " i was piss off at first but when I came to think of it, it was used turbo and you guys did a great job" no hard feeling about anything and for real you guys did do a good job. I'm still gonna come back for more work to be done from you guys. Love the customers Service there first day I came in and drop off the turbo mike opens the door for me and when I came and picked up the turbo I made new friends lol that was fun primo guys showing me there car first handed. But thanks a lot tho Jesse not trying to bash you guys here.

I know you weren't bashing man, no hard feelings whatsoever, I like to keep things dramafree but it seems there's a few people that can't let go of the good ol dsmstyle drama, lol
