some dude tried 2 rip me off
I went to meet this guy who was selling a t3t4 garrett turbo "brand new". He's been trying to sell this thing since November for 400. i Offered him 200 today b/c he sad he was desperate for cash. Went to meet him, 1st thing wrong, he said he walked to the location where we met, my guess is so i wouldnt see his car. He handed me the turbo, the ****** was spray painted silver on the turbine side.he said he had his friend POLISH it because it was "rusty" looking...hello, can anyone say used? I looked inside, you could see the oil residue on the fins. exhaust side was normal "used" burn look. so much for "brand new". I checked the shaft, talk about play, on the compressor side when i spun it i could hear it scratching the housing! you know, the sound of death!? toast. WTF. Also, it had a t3 .42 compressor housing, no t4. he said that it was a t4, he pointed to the part where the charge pipe connects to the compressor housing and said, "thats a t4 flange there" WTF. that ------ thing was fawwwwked up. he cleaned it up pretty good though. i hope nobody buys that thing from him. damn...some people
