Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

Well, an out of state friend from GVR-4.org sent me his turbo to have Julian rebuild it to an 18G. 3 months later. Julian not only refuses to drop it off and Primo, he also refuses to ship it. All of this after my friend paid $250 already.

I'd highly advise you to stay away from him, it's been too long without answers and I doubt I'll see that turbo anytime soon.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

I've found Julian to be an alright guy. I am pretty pissed about the fact that you feel it necessary to post his adress and his girlfriends adress, and facebook info and all. Call me what you will, but I think thats a pretty douche thing to do. Where he or his girlfriend live are of no concern of the people of this forum.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

x2

no need to put his family/address into the whole thing. I bought my e316g from him and have been running on it for about a good year with about 8-9k miles on it. Julian is a good guy.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

i do understand the anger towards julian. Over time it sure seems like he dosnt know how to run a business at all, and he probably should stop but thats up to him. But i must say i highly disagree with pulling his girlfriend in. I have had many bad transaction with different people and usually the girlfriend is clueless as to whats going on or the severity of it. its just one of those not your place situations.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

All that information that was posted is public information, it's not like it was found illegally and posted up.

If he has been scamming people, he deserves everything that he gets. He brought it on himself. Did he think there would be no consequences for screwing people over?

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

Oh man that was a long read but, you guys seemed to all be getting screwed. I would never take a order on a turbo I didn't have parts for and make false promise's and then vanish for months from the people that gave me money!! Several members on here have also had problems with him as well. I know the site admin specifically told him to stop offering service's to members on here.

Looks like 6 people on the first page of that thread had problems for several months with his service's.

Also looks like about 3 months after people send money to him for turbo's or rebuilds they might get their product after several rounds of complaining.

His response:
from now on im no longer giving updates, im just going to ship turbos as the parts come in. saves a lot of criticism and wasted time on everyones end.

Sounds like a good person to do business with.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

sold him a few 14b's along time ago and that went fine.

So I asked him to find me a smaller hot side for my gt40 and just a hot side. when I got it back it had a smaller hot side that was machiend to fit,a t3 center section, non 360 bearing,had the front cover cut and machined and the welded back together with the garret and a pte parts. It no longer had the gt40 intake wheel on it. It had a gt35 wheel on it.
I put it on to get it to the cook out last year (it took him 3months to do this) started up the car and the it blew a ton of smoke. wanted to go to the cook out so that is way it went. It burned 2qts of oil from the round trip maple grove to rogers.
Then he ''fixed it" new oil seal and a 360 bearing. then told me it was my car that made it blow the oil seal out.

what he said that was wrong with my set up
1. oil feed was wrong (from ofh,with earls filter ran all the turbos that way)
2. drain was to small (-10an)
3. bov did not work right (tial)
4. intake to restive (hks filter on the turbo)
I never had any problems with all the other turbos that have been on the evo at all with the same set up. The only thing I changed was the manifold put on Jon's 1st top mount from his galant

After the 1st time getting fixed it made it around the block then blew the oil seal would not build boost and the intake wheel ate into the housing. Was pissed about this left some good voice mails and took a while to get back to me.
So the 2nd time diffrent intake wheel new seals. this time it made it 30miles before the wheel came loose and ate it self and the front cover.
So that was the end of that and I bought swifts 6776 so I could drive the car. Then got calls wanting the turbo so he could fix it right or the money for the work I did not wanted. Just wanted a new smaller hot side (5in out was just to big. works great on a airplane push back just not a car) I still have the pile of crap and use it as a door stop now.

Now with the 6776 I have not had any problems at all and swifty had pte fix it before I picked it up and it works great on the same set up as the gt40 was on.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

What the deal was that in exchange for the S16G (had SS oil feed line on it also) and 4g64 block and crank that there would be a turbo coming my way. The crank was supposed to go into his friends car for a build (2.3L) at the time. He turned around and sold it for money not even offering it back to me (remind you that I have received nothing!) He took the S16G rebuilt it and sold it off as well.That was early this spring and now its fall. Told him that I needed a turbo for the stuff I have gave him, something quick spooling for auto x (this was a week or 2 ago). Received nothing except a bunch of excuses. Also complaints on how everyone is unfair. SO... I have received nothing from him but he sure made a profit off of me....

I don't want to even tell about the truck repair... lets just say he got more of my money for nothing...

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy
 

Feel free to elaborate! Let everyone know what a sleazebag this guy is. He chose to violate forum rules by offering his services without becoming a site sponsor and now myself, and all the other admins, are going to sit here and smile while he goes down in flames.

EVERYONE, STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY!
*edit*
This means you, Aaron ;)

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

I say no violence please. My 16G was rebuild by him needless to say its performance is marginal compared to other evo3 16s Ive ridden in. The warranty is garbage on it. . . he responded once to my questioning that was when? Almost a year ago. Never heard from him after. If filing a complaint is the way to go by all mean's, or maybe confronting him face to face as long as hands stay out of peoples faces.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

WOw, ^you were in love with this guy before.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

I have known him for a long time, and always wondered why people thought so highly of him. I figured maybe I was wrong about him? Apparently not. He always came off as kind of a hack/shortcut taker to me.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

His so called rebuilt turbo this guy got leaked oil and bent the blades as soon as it was started.

http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/i...ic=111395&st=0

A few other people's turbos are also leaking and blowing smoke....

Because information like whats in this thread is not circulated....

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

Julian is a horrible unreliable guy. Ordered two rebuilt turbos from him, one came rebuilt and put on a show with a hurt ankle and blame games for months, showed up with an already used turbo. Just ready to Kill.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

Why oh why the fuck do people still buy shit from this guy????

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

Man. . . i thought i could trust him he offered to help me out over pm but i was reluctant due to the prior posts now im really reluctant. . .

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

I wanted to update, I received my 16g turbo. He also included a SSfeed line, turbo water pipe (which was in great condition), Misc bolts needed, and gasket to help me get the turbo on the car. He really didn't need to include all of that but he did to help me out.

It actually helped me out big time so I didn't have to run around and find all the misc parts of switching from Oil feed to oil feed/coolent turbo. Car is up and running with the turbo.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

1/50+ customers satisfied?

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

Why the fuck would you be happy with that result? I can guarntee that you put that on and it is smoking like a bitch in a few hundred miles MAX. Your time and money that you are wasting I guess.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

I agree that he is horrible with staying in touch with his customers, however every turbo I have ever sent him has been 100% perfect, I killed several turbos with metal flakes and too high oil pressure (oil filter housing port fixed it).

Turbochargers are complicated, keeping all your customers happy is impossible, combine that with that julian is anti-social and I can see why his reputation is destroyed.

I always buy new turbos, because I can afford to.

TL;DR Julian is retarded socially, but technically there is nobody out there that is filling this need of low-cost DSMers.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

This still doesn't explain the countless turbos that people have received as being rebuilt and either were still blown or failed shortly thereafter, on top of people receiving the wrong turbos back.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

I respect what you are saying Matt, however I must say that the numbers seem skewed a little, if you actually take account of how many turbos that man has sold vs. the numbers that have broke vs. the number of turbos that he fixed I think you will see that he is like any business. happy customers and unhappy customers.

Most of the his customers don't weigh in with emotional posts about how they were screwed, most of the people are driving around, not posting on the internet.

No offense but he seems like a great guy, just a little messed up in the head. He is the ONLY one of you who is actually stepping up to the local tuning community helping us out get cheaper turbos and give us much more support then MAP has ever given to its customers, MAP wouldn't come out to my house at night, rebuild a turbo that I messed up, port my oil filter housing so I didn't flow more then 80PSI to my turbo.

I would have to say half of his "Bad" turbos are messed up from improper installs.

I don't care if you ban me, but at least I can weigh in on this.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

People pay Julian pennies for his work compared to what any shop would charge, and as the saying goes you get what you pay for. I'm willing to bet if you pay any shop enough money they'd come to your house to work on your car, but comparing a full blown business to some fly by night shade tree mechanic is apples and oranges. The thing is, if a reputable shop screws up they make things right and very quickly. Julian has done anything but. It's always easy to blame the customer, but there are only so many ways to install a turbo.

Please leave others out of this, especially this site's sponsors. This thread is about Julian's dealings. If you have a problem with something feel free to make your own thread.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

Yeah right...

In my opinion, rebuilding and selling turbos is a tricky business that julian has gotten himself in.

First lets think about the customers that he has to deal with. DSMers who are looking for a cheap turbo because they blew up the turbo on their car (often times because they installed it wrong to begin with or it is a Fake E16G plus they just beat on their car). They don't want to spend the money for a new one. They are often trying to get the car running as fast as they can because the car is their daily driver. State of mind "I need a turbo as fast as possible!"

They ship it to julian and from what I seen poorly. The one that I seen shipped to him was in a cardbord box that was falling apart and packing peanuts shoved inside the turbo. The turbo had a polished cover on it and now was scratched up and damaged from just shipping.

Julian calls them as says that the turbo has seen way too much oil pressure because the oil filter housing was unported. Fixes it up with a warranty. A week later the turbo comes back to him with the same problems and customer demands the warranty saying the turbo failed because of julian rebuild. Problem was again too much oil pressure...
Myself I can't argue with a customer with that kind of logic.

The other situation was when an mitsubishi turbo came in "under warranty" but the reason it failed was because it was over heated. The coolent line wasn't never hooked up. But they wanted the warranty because julian MUST have done the rebuild wrong.

I am not saying all of the customers on the list are like this but this is just from what I have seen. It sounds like a fun business, rebuilding turbos and making money, but I couldn't do it because of the customers.

Cheap DSMers are the worst people to try to teach or try to tell them how they should install a turbo. They usually don't care about the car, turbo.
However this is the market that julian is in right now. People with money, patients, mechanical know how rebuild their own turbos or buy new.

However what Julian is lacking is a business plan, set prices, written warranties, good parts suppliers, and written inventory and customer list. Once that is taken care of, it could be a good business.

Re: jhaan_dude is a good guy *edit* BAD GUY!
 

^All DSMers are cheap and don't know how to install shit?
