NEGATIVE - Blaastperformance
 
this isnt exactly a product review, moreless a company review. just wanted to inform fellow board members before purchasing (there are MANY MANY places to buy from on the internet!!!)


to anyone debating ordering through blaastperformance. my experience has been negative. i wanted the 44mm blaast wastegate for $250, they "no longer make it due to problems" but they have a 46mm (for $250 as well) to replace it (that is nowhere on their website, no pics, nothing)....not to mention the only way to pay for stuff was through paypal, no credit cards...what a hassle for someone who doesnt have paypal. after receiving it and sending it to the place thats building my manifold, they called and said that i would have to cut a good bit of my core support out just to fit this ginormous thing. screw that. so i decide to go with a 38mm. i can get a 38mm TIAL for $210 shipped through Synapse, so i call Blaast to find out what i need to do to return the 46mm blaast and get my money back. they say "we cant do that, that was a special order wastegate and we didnt even have one in stock, oh and we dont make the wastegates here...we can give you someone of equal or more value though". so, they will not give me my money back. instead the guy said they have what i need...a 38mm TIAL for $250 or 38mm blaast for $250 how stupid is that, not to mention i payed $250 for the much larget 46mm blaast. after a 10 minute arguement over their return policy (what kind of company refuses to give you your money back???) he said "well what do you want then?" i said "either a tial 38mm for $210 shipped or give me my $250 back". needless to say, no agreement was accomplished. did i mention he was rude on the phone??

there was some other things that i thought about getting through blaast.....BUT NOT NOW. nor will i push any potential clients their way. so now im forced to (possibly) delay my turbo project bc i have to wait to sell this 46mm before i can order a 38mm tial. super.

I don't understand. You order a 46 mm wastegate and then are shocked thats its big? Also, a lot of people only use paypal for accepting money. It's relatively cheap and easy for small business.

not new news... the guy is a hand job, i prolly turbo 3-4 cars a month and i do just fine not dealing with handjob canadias like guillaume nadeau, if i would have known the guys name before i bought parts i would have never sent money..

Well they only accept Paypal, that isn't really a negative or a positive. Just a fact. You bitching about them changing products just doesn't make sense to me either though.

I can totally see them not just returning the item. Be happy they offered a exchange. I would have made you pay a restocking charge of $30 and not refunded your shipping.



instead the guy said they have what i need...a 38mm TIAL for $250 or 38mm blaast for $250 how stupid is that, not to mention i payed $250 for the much larget 46mm blaast.
You don't get to bitch about their pricing.


after a 10 minute arguement over their return policy (what kind of company refuses to give you your money back???) he said "well what do you want then?" i said "either a tial 38mm for $210 shipped or give me my $250 back". needless to say, no agreement was accomplished. did i mention he was rude on the phone??
So you now want them to price match with some other site on your return? You will not get far telling a business owner what to charge for his products.

You bought the damn thing. Deal with it. You should have checked the measurements and ---- before you bought it.

you bought a part that wasnt listed on thier site, obviously it is something they dont sell regularly, ie: special order. you go to honda and order something and see if they will let you return it, at least he offered an exchange
