Turbo specs

[robertisaar]

this is what i've gotten next:

Hi. i know what was happening then.
we have 2 kinds of turbo with slight difference, actually it's supposed to be 1, but the manufactory mixed them up. this doesnt happen much but sometime it just happens.

unfortunately we sold out the t/70 turbo as described in the listing.

we can refund your money back. but we need to send you return label first, please give me your fax number or a email address that I can send the label to. after we received the turbo, we will refund all your money.

sorry about the inconvenience.
For further assistance please call us at 317-337-0818 Mon-Fri 10-6 EST
thanks

should i just live and let live or actually send it back? as long as they'll honor the 1 year warranty on it i'm considering keeping it. if i was doing a project that would cost me a lot of money, no question about it. but since i'm trying to do this as cheap as possible and see some results...

tell them that the compressor measures out to be a t4 50 trim and it is deff not what it is advertised to be.
can u take any pics of the turbo u recived?

[ForcedFirebird]

Sounds like they are being cool if they offered to pay for shipping.

[robertisaar]

well it was actually kind of fast but here is the response i got:

Hi, sorry about the inconvenience. could you describe the turbocharge you received a little bit, are there any tags on compressor wheel?

we might have sent the T3/t4 turbo to you.

please let me know,

we will send you the return label that you dont have to pay for the shipping.

thanks


what should i tell them? that even though it says A/R.70 right on the cold side that it "might" be a t3/t4?

[boostedrs]

not sure if this matters but i went ahead and checked the exhaust to and came up with 2.295 and 2.905 but with an odd number of blades it might be a little off. i'll be sending them some e-mails real soon...

should have a 2.5 inch out right? if so it should have a ptrim wheel stuffed into a t3 housing

EDIT: just looked again and the ind/exd measured 1.99 and 2.99 respectively.

This would equate to:

(1.99*1.99)/(2.99*2.99)(*100)=(3.9601)/(8.9401)(*100)=44.26

Kind of like our turbos were supposed to be 57 trim? I'll have to look at my pics to remember the exact measurements on mine, but it was closer to 47 or 48, not 57. (that's why I compare it to the 46).

[boostedrs]

(2.075*2.075)/(2.995*2.995)=(4.305625)/(8.970025)=48 trim

Not a very effieceint turbo, about the same as boosted's and mine.

hie measurements are slightly off i have one sitting here at home that i got.it is a 50 trim, infact i went as to even take off the compressor cover off the other one and tried to interchange them,they dont fit.im emailing the guy back as well

seems the new guys are using the reg xs power specs for there undersized turbos hoping to make some sales now that xs left ebay.

its a 50 trim those bastards switch up all there shit again,
i would email them back again and tell them u did not recive the right turbo,and make them send u the right one. that shoulkd have had an 61mm inducer

even though its not the right one its still good for 475ish hp

(2.075*2.075)/(2.995*2.995)=(4.305625)/(8.970025)=48 trim

cold side so lower number is inducer. haven't checked exhaust half.

Not necessisarily. Look at where the blades are measured in the pic...
