Dude used one shot of brake clean and a dirty rag to "reman" that puppy. Good thing you sniffed out a bad deal!

By the looks of the pics the ebay store is just an outlet for less expensive stuff. You guys cant expect top quality for half price. Or good service.
Agreed. I spend more time on eBay than any other site. You can get hosed quick but don't assume all eBay sellers are like this. Check the feedback and if the item looks like a good deal and you are leery of the sellers feedback, only use Paypal and you are covered up to a grand. I've had issues and was able to get my money back after a few weeks.
heres what i asked:
is this a pic of that actual turbo for sale? you said this has a different compressor wheel, but it still looks like a stock wheel. thanks
heres his reply:
It is a picture of what the turbo will look like. they are inexpensive and stock appearing. bearings will be new, if i tell you the compressor is 68 it will be a 68 cast out of a 4094 i upgraded to a larger wheel or billet wheel. I basically build these to suit outta leftover stuff so they are somewhat affordable.
We don't give them away, but we put pictures up of the roughest ones so that the buyers expectations are set accordingly.
we have bearing kits in stock from garrett, and a large selction of gently used stuff.
we do clean all vanes and check solenoin operation. put the center assemble on west coast balanced which is just a quick check.
please don't expect a new turbo or ask for a half off discount.
we would gladly accomadate you and offer new turbos for sale on this site as well.
if you want stock appearing and bang for the buck i think you would like this one.
if you are real picky and need top quality lets get you into a brand new one
dont ask for half off!!:roflmao:

With an attitude like that I would find a new store.I asume it was the store answering the question or was it someone from your shop?Sounded like it was someone that knew turbos.

Best part is when you have disputes after a purchase, ebay will look at your messages back and forth. This guy wouldn't stand a chance. :thumb:
If there selling used turbos they better be posting pictures of the actual turbo you will recieve. To me if I did not get the turbo that is pictured I would consider it a false auction.
Guess everyone didn't highlight to see the user name :roflmao:#125

Either way the turbo is being misrepresented, if its a parts and pieces job then it should be represented as such. Are these turbos even being balanced? That is a rhetorical question as i wouldnt believe they are being theyre pieced together as an "affordable" turbo.

Probably the best thing here to do would be everyone go buy a new turbo.
These ebay turbos are not what you. Guys want
These ebay turbos are not what you. Guys want
U are thinking of dmax forum
And that guy actually ended up happy
Basically you guys gotta realize if you are buying off ebay its because its not nice enough for the store
Its decent stuff kinda swap meet stuff
Are you speaking for your items only?
I have sold many a brand new item on ebay, bought them too..
I am speaking to the used refurb items we are. Clearancing
For a brand new 4094 we are the best deal on yhe net
Google powermax 4094 we are the top listing
Lowest price and such
The ebay store in no way represents the website
Even if he is "liquidating inventory" for your company, the responsibility for misrepresenting the parts still falls on you, does it not?
Seems that you are using a third party to avoid culpability when these "rebuilt" turbos fail down the road.
