turbonetics = ching chong meow
got this off another forum
It seems that they have gone to China for their labor... no wonder they've started to give unlimited lifetime warranties. I guess their trying to cover their asses w/ the poor quality control.

Dear Brad:
If you need,I can make tooling according your sample(casting No.402320428-11&20366.I've left one sample from your castings early.The tooling fee is US$1400.Is the inclined exit edge the later design?
I've finished 200pcs of 21021, according P006648 the shipping date is 2nd Jan.2006.Also finished 50 pcs of 20428-6 and 50 pcs of 20684,according P05991,the shipping date is 9th Jan. 2006.Can I send a invoice to you?I'll ship by your carrier.But my carrier can give爕ou a good freight with door to door.Are you interested in?
For 21278 (P006644),according your drawing,the shaft thread is 5/16-18UNF-2A.But all threads for America Standard are 3A.Maybe 2A is a mistake? I received 200 pcs of castings on 22nd Dec.But I should finish them on 16th Jan. according P006644.The time is very urgent.
According 爕our 21199 sample,the thread is 5/16-24 -right hand.But most shaft thread is left hand.Should I爉ake the right hand thread according the sample?
Best regards!

I thought we are going to make the 20333 & 20428-10 from the same casting as the 20366 & 20428-11 we supply. We will use all the wheels you shipped as they are but we are very interested in converting all our turbine wheels to this later design.

Please review the attached turbine wheel list. We need to know what you have drawings on and what you do not. Also need tooling quotes on some of the wheels.

We are putting together a large purchase order for you now.

Re: turbonetics = ching chong meow
ill never buy a turbonetics again, bought a REAL turbonetics 60/48 off ebay pre oiled it drove around fine (put on tuesday went to tune friday) drove about an hour to omaha to have a buddy tune it and third pull on the dyno at only 16 psi the ------- internal shaft shattered and threw chunks into the cold side charge and ----, completly blown, this was on a built z6 and was running correct oil pressure to it, guy who tuned it said the same thing "it's happened before" he said he'd never personally run anything made by turbonetics, and this is coming from a reputable shop owner

Re: turbonetics = ching chong meow
its not just turbonetics. a lot of top name maufactures have parts made overseas and shipped here. now assembly and quality control is another story. ---- i would rock a turbonetics 100 times over before a masterpower or xs power.

Re: turbonetics = ching chong meow
i think the CHRA's are the iimportant part when it comes to who the manufacturer and assembler is. wheels and housings are kinda hard to ---- up unless you go WAY cheap.
i doubt turbonetics would go total sweat shop style. geting cheaper rates from china or thailand is just business.
