Never-ending turbo balls-ache


Jake

Recommended Posts

So I ordered a Precision GT4088 (1.19 A/R Divided) from this guy on SupraForums. PayPal'd the money over to him but now he's PM'd me saying that they only do up to .96AR with a v-band turbine outlet and that the 1.19A/R has a six bolt flange and will that be alright?

 

So what should I do? Try to get my money back from him (Less 4% fees and currency exchange charges, both ways probably)

 

...or go for the .96AR?

 

...or try to find a 6 bolt to v-band adapter like this :

I've been searching the net and I can't one anywhere.

If it's any help, when you pay by PayPal the seller has the option to refund you with no fees payable - so you get the full amount back.

 

I don't know whether this applies to overseas purchases though.

Oh right, I didn't know that.

Puts me back to square one though. Still no turbo on order.

 

Whats stopping you just welding the flange onto you're down pipe jake? or is that just causing excess cost you dont need atm?
Nothing I suppose, just an unnecessary pita. Makes changing the turbo again in the future difficult too.

you wont lose the 4% , you ll get all the exact money you sent to the guy, ofcourse if he didn't refund your money, you open a dipute with paypal and they get your money back for you.

Now it turns out the .96AR isn't a divided housing anyway. So I've asked the guy to just refund my money.

He's stopped replying to PMs now though.

 

Open a paypal dispute now anyway, just incase :rolleyes:

 

Its the easiest thing to do in the circumstances and gets the ball rolling for a refund.

What's wrong with the .96?

It's not like you're talking .35 vs .50, is it?

When it gets around A/R=1 exh backpressure is seriously lowered at full blast.

Why do you want to go over 0.8 anyway? I understand if it's a 6L chevvy that can pull cleanly off-boost, but a low-comp 3lt on a 1.5tonne car is a bit on the low side, eh?

 

As for the divided housing, it's OK if it's there, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Exh temps are far more important than pulses.

Yeah that's exactly what I want. Sadly nobody has them in stock, not even Garrett themselves.

A 1.06 or 1.19 A/R divided should spool similarly to a non-divided 0.8 though.
