He showed a pic in the for sale thread, although he had the
wastegate positioned in a way that i could not see the tial logo.
I was taking his word for it, I mean who would sell a piece of ----
wastegate and advertise it as a tial!!!! Never again.
Anyways, he claims it was sold to him buy someone else and
he honestly thought it was a tial! Bullshit. He refuses to refund my cash.
He said the only thing he can do is trade me for a DeltaGate that he has on hand.
$140 for a deltagate, yea i got Ripped!

I guess its just risky business purchasing off of message forums.
Happy to say it didn't happen on HMT though.

 

that sucks man.. people like that should be killed, by law. thats just my opinion

 

are you sure it never said tial "style" anywhere? thats where most people get jipped.
