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.

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
@ craig
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.

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.

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.

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. "

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

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.
#119
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 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.
