Or maybe that Turbonetics just saves all their junk turbos to send to you so you and whine about it. NOT!

Turbonetics doesn't make a junk turbo kit. If you ask me 99.9% of the failures can attributed to the IDIOT installer or IDIOT behind the wheel which in most cases are the same person.
OH BOY HERE WE GO

These turbo's were from a SFR Twin Turbo Kit (so both of them went both times). ALSO the kit was installed by BOTH Sharif at Forged internals and Jeremy at Performance Factory. Both of these guys HATE turbonetics and say these turbos are junk. My turbos were brand new and lasted a whopping 4k miles (most of which were non boosting interstate miles) after they were installed by Forged. I then took the car to Performance Factory to have the motor built and have the turbos re-built under warranty. Turbonetics "rebuilt" the turbos and sent them back to Performance Factory. On this go around they lasted all of a day till they both started pouring oil from the compressor and exhaust housing.

Feel like putting your foot in you mouth yet?

Are you offering sexual favors or something? Let me guess... You've become so broke from having to replace all those failed turbos that you've resorted to turning tricks now?

Didn't anyone tell you? Silly F@got, Dicks are for chicks.
Now why don't you just go and play in traffic somewhere like the other stupid kids. I'm not going to bother wasting another post on a idiot like you.

Damn if i get banned then that will mean it will be a long next few days at work


I am just trying to help out here before this dickwad havock stepped in.


Its just not worth messing w/ these guys now that there are more ST options out there (ie powerlab). Turbonetics has been bought out or merged w/ another company (can't rember which) and ever since their quality has gotten even worse. From what i know their production process is now taking place out of states. This has resulted in a drastic decline in their quality. Not to mention that their customer service is absolutely horrible. All they wil do isl give you the run around. Sure Reggie Wynn helped out all the Turbonetics ST owners w/ giving them water cooled sectioned turbo's, but he had to due to the massive failure rate they were having.

TN kits are trash either way. For god sakes, the least they could have done was hand out oil reducers with the turbos so we stop blowing smoke. But i dont want to get into this. Ill be going greddy or aps soon and hopefully/probably, they wil have better turbos. LOL

Not one problem with my Turbonetics kit, except the AC line going out. Later this winter I'm going to do a custom 3' down pipe then It'll be all good. Most problems is the install, were people halfazz things then later have problems. Don't be that person.
