tgpguy21 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 These guys have had my turbo for almost 4 months looking or waiting for a new cartridge. I gave one company a call and found the cartridge in less than 20 minutes. Then they said they would ship me back my turbo last tuesday, and i gave him a call today and it still hasnt been shipped out. My cartridge is already with me and i ordered that last thursday. Bottom line is go with a company called East Coast turbos if your looking at getting a turbo rebuild. Cheapturbo.com is horrible!!!!! :verymad: Quote
LukeZ34 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 fully rebuilt and with polished compressor and HPC coated turbine housing... How much did that cost ya? (if you don't mind me asking) I need to get mine rebuilt.. it's on it's last few legs. Quote
TurboZ24 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 I can usually get turbo's for less than cheapturbo's, so I get them locally. I can't beat them by a lot, but some and I personally know the guy I get my turbo's from, so I know they are good and any problems I have (which I don't) would get resolved immediately. Quote
tgpguy21 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Posted July 7, 2004 to tell you the truth luke i wouldnt go with cheapturbo.com. They still dont have our cartridge in and your probably better off going with east coast turbos. even though there alittle more expensive (20-30 dollars i believe) they have way better customer service.

LukeZ34 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 not a bad price at all.. Not so sure I want to deal with them though.. :? hmm Quote
red89tgp Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 just what ever you guys do DO NOT buy anything from mjmturbochargers cause i bout my 2nd tgp and sent them the turbo for a rebuild and they sent me back shitty turbos.so i sent it back to them(7months ago)and i still don't have my turbo back from them and i'm about to get on a plane and go to alabama to kick some yokel-rednecks ass for not sending me a new turbo!

tgpguy21 Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Posted July 7, 2004 well luke from what he has told me is they wont be getting the cartridge in from japan for another 2-3 months! Just something to think about before you go sending your turbo in to them. Quote
timg Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I ordered a new GT30R from CheapTurbo.com with very minor problems. I spoke with Ken. First, they switched credit card processing companies, but that didn't delay my order. Then, they were short on the exhaust housing I ordered(at least in non HPC coated form) so I got the one with HPC coating. Once it shipped(maybe 2 days late- no big deal), it arrived promptly. This weekend I'll be picking it up from my parents house. I should also have a Tial BOV and wastegate and flanges in there. I'll let you all know how it looks. All in all, I'm VERY happy with cheapturbo so far. Turbonetics and a local shop delayed my last T04E by 2 months, sent me the wrong turbo which was also rebuilt and not new, and then tried to charge me more for the new correct one when it finally came in!

timg Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 Tim, the T04E not large enough ? That T04E is HUGE! It is definitely TOO big for people who want instant spool and a perfect autocross setup. I actually have considered swapping out to a GT35R though. The GT30R is for my 2004 Honda S2000! Tim Quote
brian89gp Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Hehe, just making sure the competition is still within reach Have you considered using a smaller AR exhaust housing? Maybe a .58? Quote
timg Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 The stuff from CheapTurbo is in and looks awesome. I'm more than happy with them! Tim Quote
LukeZ34 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Yes, please do. Mine may be taking a trip this winter for a little refreshing.. 8) Quote
