They will discover the truth of that when they tear down the turbos. Yall must be physically exhausted jumping to conclusions like that.

If its true and the seal is bad, Shawn is just going to rebuild them and lets say something else happened and worse case scenario the chra needs to be replaced, Shawn charges like $300 to replace the chra which means even if it isnt warrantied you arent on the hook for the whole cost of the turbos to have them rebuilt and brought back to functional. I know this bc i bothered to ask
I mean, If I was in this guy's situation I would be furious. I dont care if it were fixed and the manufacturer paid for shipping, labor, and a night out on the town, I would be furious over my time lost. The money isn't a big deal, but another month without my car. That is what would bother me.

What does the 3 year warranty cover exactly nutswinger?
Building on my point of if the manufacturer paid for everything..... why Does everyone on this platform expect warranties to cover labor? everybody loves to comment about the "unprecedented" 3-year warranty, but in the same breath expect the manufacturer to cover labor? would Garrett or PTE do that?

And yeah.. Seems to me someone bought these turbos strictly because they were cheap and thought they found a good deal. I bought them because I wanted to see if they'll work AND if they fail... I'll tell my wife that its a design flaw of the original turbos & then she won't fuss over the price of a proper single kit

Bravo!
Yeah. This is embarrassing. This thread will go the same way the last one did because a couple of posters can't not talk shit about each other long enough to have a straightforward discussion.
