Well hats off to Danzio for doing that. From what I understand you returned the favor by not paying them. Real honest of you...

I see that time and time again when it comes to the Turbonetics warranty/return policy. People have unrealistic expectations and many time try to game the system and threaten by bad mouthing the company on forums.
Agreed 115%. The warranty card for every kit states the warranty is not transferable to another owner. As Reggie has said and shown in his posts he tries to help out everyone he can but some people expectations and demands aren't realistic and quite frankly some people are going to get the short end. Technically the minute the kit was sold to another person the warranty was over. Mind you this all happened MONTHS before Reggie and Turbonetics put together a program to help the customers.

To worldchamp:
Don't threaten me via PM. You have no idea who I am and are obviously out of your mind if you think sending me threats is going to change something. Your inability to read a warranty card is does not make a company liable for something you encountered wrong with your car. I am going to ask you one last time to stop thread crapping and start your own thread if you want to discuss your "situation" further. Otherwise stay off my thread. I'll be forwarding your correspondence to the moderators next.

@ craig
Yes, let's covered all transfered warranties. That way I can go around buying any used turbonetics 60-1 and sending it in for a "new" unit and reselling them. Nothing like taking advantage of a situation and screwing everyone else.

If they help someone with a transferred warranty it's because they feel it's deserving and it is a personal favor. If they DON'T, then it means that said person did not warrant the replacement for obvious reason.

Rest assured that all ACTUAL Turbonetics CUSTOMERS that bought the 350z kit will be taken care of.

Another valid point that I intended to make.

Hah.. well this is humerous but expected. My inbox is open as well if you'd like to make threats there. I assure you the only thing you'll find is a good amount of verbal (contextual) ownage.

Exactly. Apparentely he would prefer his friends turbo DOESN'T get taken care of by calling him out specifically. His friend slipped through the cracks and got hooked up so he rats him out. People like this are exactly the reason companies chose NOT to hook people up. Maybe they should cancel his friends rebuild so this guy doesn't feel "cheated"

no the turbo was not bad when i bought the car(you making things up as you go). it went like 2 months after. nobody called in making demands either, you guys have handled this situation very poorly and disrespectful. you need to speak to me not just reggie to figure things out. but i will be handeling this the legal way. your telling people on a national forum that i am withholding money from peter and my mom is calling in for me ( i don't know who told but i will find out) that is pathetic. wow, very sad.... anyway i am ending things here with you sales people at turbonetics. you will be hearing from me soon, keep ignoring the fact that your helping scythenc in my situiation as far as warranty, your argument hold's not fact's...... harry


the funny thing is schythenc know about this i already pm'd him and he is the one that told me about all this stuff anayway. he is the proOf that you guys pick and choose who you help! oh i forgot he slipped through the system, BS!

and to miaplaya, playing a tuff guy role on the internet is easy! i will be at plenty events on the east coast. don't threatn me over the internet tuff guy! you sound very proffesional speaking on behalf of turbonetics


i had all the money in the account for the turbo the day when i ordered the new one! peter didn't run my check card! it wasn't my mistake!!!! its theirs, and now we have a payment planned worked out. this just happend to be in the middle of it! i have no problem with giving him the rest of the money when we can.

i may have entered this situiation the wrong way but you people trying to belittle me is pathetic and you won't hurt my feeling's. who is the little rich kids with momy's money. not me! i have done **** on my own to get my own money speak for yourselves drivng boosted g35's and 350z's at early 20's with 35,000 in mods and no real jobs to show real income, get a clue.

Lets see what could be considered threatening in your PM.

I bolded them for you so your mom can read them to you as a bed time story. I give a rat's @ss how many events you are going to be at on the East Coast. Please point out where I threatened YOU e-thug. What are you going to do have your mommy come spank me. Actually is your mom hot? I might not mind that. Take your tough guy act somewhere else Harry Twatter. Keep me posted on when I should be afraid of you or your mom. I want to make a note of it. Someone ban this tool already..

LMAO. Coming from the guy who had is mommy call to take care of his problems. First you tell us we are all spoiled rich kids now you tell US to grow up. When you become a man and handle problems without your mommy then you can talk to me. There's no spoiled rich kid on this end of the keyboard there princess. While you were being breast fed (oops you still are) some of us were overseas serving our country. Re-think your statements before you make them momma's boy. Of course now I'm sure you're going to tell me being a US Marine isn't a real job. Happy Independence day baby huey...

Here is another post from the Import North Carolina forum......Great point

" Harry's case is a very very weak one. Most race hardware doesn't come with any kind of warranty, let alone one that transfers with ownership. "

ROFL is he takes TN to court TN will counter sue for all costs due to the warranty claim. How about you just give them the money now.

Oh Brotha! Thats not the case here Craig. He has the kit. His seals are gone. TN has a seal issue and is covering people. Its not that big of a jump for him to ask to be covered. I think you'd be singing a different tune if YOU were in his shoes.

Obviously TN doesn't have to cover him since ownership has been transfered ...they could but they don't want to. So be it.

I suggest getting ALL The facts before trying to argue with me. Read the thread, specifically the part about him buying the turbo used and already blown before a water cooled exchange option being offered, and come back to me with your thoughts.

Also take into consideration that they stiffed Danzio Performance out of a partial payment for the turbo and are now DEMANDING that the turbo be replaced.

I know Turbonetics goes out of their way to help customers, but also understand that they are neither stupid or ignorant, especially when a customer tries to screw them and make irrational demands.


And yes, so be it. Sorry if this hurts you in any way.

The fact is that he bought a TN kit with seals blown. Whatever happened with Danzio is his business. The bottomline is that someone (the original owner) bought a kit and had the seals go just like so many others here. If TN doesn't want to cover it because the guy is the second owner or because had already agreed to pay for it all before they changed their policy about the blown seals then so be it. I don't really care. (Although I'm not going to cheer that decision on like you either.)
But the real issue here was he had blown seals due to the same common problem that so many others have experienced. You can paint it any way you want but it is what it is.

I am not saying that TN doesn't have good cs either. If they want to stand on their policy to not cover his transferred kit then so be it.

i said earlier danzio did not take the money out of my account, i gave them my info he must have got side tracked. its not my problem he waits over a month to figure out he didnt run my card, stop talking when you dont know the facts! if peter thought i was holding his money hostage he would take it a step further but he hasn't cause he ****ed up and didnt run my card when he was suppose to. now he is helping me out by letting me make 2 payments cause he messed up THAT MY FRIEND, IS CALLED GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. i have no problem with peter at danzio and i have no problem oredering parts from him in the future..... i have made a payment agreement with him so chill, i was trying to get this sorted out before i had to pay the rest then you guys stiff me, anyway keep making **** up as you go. atleast someone on here has common scense.......

on the turbo thing it didnt go bad until 2MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE CAR.

35OUNCES thanks for explaining your opinion
