Billet wheel vs Machine Screw

[JD Dave]

This is what happens when you buy a new turbo and they don't put locktite on the screws that hold the 3.2 reducer in. I was very upset after my first pull to notice this had happened but I ran it the rest of the season and it worked pretty darn good.

Holy Moly!! Is everything else OK?? What turbo is that?

I guess so, it went down the track 20 times after that. I guess I'll send it to Danville and get Mark to rebuild it. It's a GT47.

I'd prefer not to comment on that as it's water under the bridge now. I did contact them about this problem and send them pictures but they never got back to me. That's why I said screw it and ran the thing for the rest of season. I was surprised it didn't cause me any more grief.

Understandable

I'd go on a shooting spree.

10 years ago I would have but now I just move on. You just get yourself all worked up and get nothing out of it. Some people seem to have good luck with certain shops and others don't.

LOL I never thought of that. I have the magic machine screw if you want to borrow it.

How are the screws placed? I know guys that never loctite theirs and take them out quite regularly.

I agree,
one thing that does really chap me is warranty cards, are you kidding me I have my original receipt from over a year ago and I am declined warranty cause I didnt fill out a card, what difference does that card make?

Apparently it means everything. lol sorry, couldn't resist.




To the OP, that sucks dude! IDK how you just take a screwing & call it water under the bridge. Bless you.

The screw head faces outwards. I think they would last more then one pull but since I can only pull bushed I never checked it. After I put a little locktite on in everything was fine.

It never went through, I found it in my intake.
