Gus-
I read the thread - got quite a laugh! You are half right by the way - The turbo I got was fine. It just took forever to get it. However, the turbo that was sold a week before mine,by Landon, to Phillip on this forum was shot, after advertising it as good. If I remember, Phillip said he spent $150-$200 to get the turbo up to spec, after the initial outlay cash to buy it.
I can't add anything to the thread, as it was locked!
