Bought an"almost new"gt3071 off of brain food I believe his real name is brian rodgers. long story short its fucked and the compressor wheel looks like it ate some rocks. also has alot of shaftplay. Do not buy from him. He has yet to reply to a pm about the issue.

Bought the turbo months ago. took the tape off of the inlet about 3 weeks ago and realized the comp wheel was fucked.( my bad should have checked it asoon as i got it but he seamed like a good guy so I i didnt think about it.) I pm'ed him that night and again a few days later, no response also sent another today.

Brian is a super legit guy, I'm sure he'll straighten things out man.

Patrick Bowering · 04-17-2010, 11:45 AM

How did my thread about getting a fucked turbo turn into praise for this guy.

DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY · 04-17-2010, 08:27 PM

2 reviews for the same seller. So im sure a mod combined the threads.

Patrick Bowering · 04-17-2010, 10:53 PM

He has still yet to reply at all. As far as im concerned he is pretty F**king shady.

brainfood · 04-18-2010, 11:11 AM

I never lied to you. That turbo was on my car for 2 events, it was barely run and brand new when I bought it. It always had an air filter on it as I was running a maf. A week before I sold it to you I ran a grip day at the big track and it worked great all day. Even boosted it up to 33psi with no problems. That wheel may have a little damage and I am sorry I did not notice that when I pulled it off but I assure you the turbo is not fucked. I have ignored you because your first pm was just telling me I was a liar and a piece of shit and not asking for any kind of help. I pulled the turbo checked shaft play checked for oil in the housings and everything checked out good. Put the turbo on and run it stop crying if you wanted a brand new turbo you should have gotten a brand new turbo. Its a ball bearing turbo when it sits and oil drains out of the center section it has shaft play as soon as there is oil pressure like when I pulled it out there is no shaft play and the turbo works great. I would have been more willing to help had you approached me a little more grown up. We could have discussed this easily at any time had you emailed or pm'd without just calling me a fucking liar.

Patrick Bowering · 04-18-2010, 12:29 PM

this is the first pm I sent you.(Man you said it was in good shape still! WTF it looks like you ran it with no filter through a fucking gravel pit. Every blade on the compressor wheel is chipped and dented. the housing has burrs all over the inside. You said you ran it twice and it was in very good condition. 1100 bucks is a good kick in the nuts man. what happened to honesty.) Yes its a little rude but im hardly calling you a fucking liar. I was just a little pissed about it. The reason I am worried about the bearings is becuase it is no longer balanced with all of the chips and chunks out of the wheel.
