maybe cause your first and only 'for sale' vouche is from this guy and he's not a happy camper with paying 200 bones for a blown turbo

Ummm....because you scammed this guy. Did you miss that part? Some might call it selective reading, but I call it denial.

He pretty much just told me he has no money to refund me anything

I was going to ask for $80 to cover the cost of a shitty laptop, but I still feel ------- shitted on that I passed up Stealthcoupegsr's turbo over this and its a piece of junk

I just dont understand why you sold it to me, you obviously would have looked at your turbo

i wouldn't worry about the crack. that is typical. if your going to use an external wastegate, then you should be ok.

get the man some new bearings. if there is still play then it might need a whole rebuild or the shaft/journals have worn down.

mark the wheel, shaft, nut with something so you can align them when you tighten everything up.

good luck getting this resolved.

What's the lesson to be learned here??

DON'T BUY USED TURBO'S ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!

AND DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM MAHCIVIC!!!

unless you can physically test for shaft play and visibly not see any defects, then DON'T BUY IT!!
