And thanks to you I've just found near on $1000 worth of parts... one of which is this sexual piece

Does Andrew at AM performance make metal intake pipes??

when i finally get time meet up with Vu to pick up the dump pipe, im gonna also get him to make the exit pipe for me aswell.

Sure does mate... he'll make pretty much anything you want

You make it sound so simple. I'm sure theres some clause in the PayPal T&C that has allowed these scammers to get away...

What I reckon is this: they ask if theres anything they should know about the car, the seller misses something out, they buy the car pay with paypal, it clears, seller gets money sends off car, they receive the car and file paypal dispute over some bullshit thing that seller didnt state and 99% of the time paypal sides with the buyer and the money gets transferred into their paypal account and the seller's paypal account is suddenly minus whatever amount and they dont return the car, strips it down or whatever and paypal chases up with the seller to recoupe the money.

That is an extremely complicated way to rip someone off and IMO unlikely to be a clean get away as the level of identification, communication and contact required would result in a way to find the person again. You'd be better off doing the old 'lets take it for a test drive' and jump the driver. Much simpler and cleaner.

In the two examples listed in this thread where people were ripped off were because they read an email to say they had the funds but didn't log into PayPal and check to see that the funds were actually in their account. The step after that is for the seller to transfer the funds from PayPal into their own personal bank account. If these steps had been followed the people would not have been ripped off.

why not just do it the old fashioned way with a bank transfer? :P worked for me

If you transfer $ into someone's account and they rip you off it is virtually impossible to get the $ back. The saying goes 'buyer beware' for a reason.

I don't work for PayPal and it seems strange that I am defending them but as a user since 2006 I have never once had a problem whereas I have had two problems with groupbuys on SAU where I deposited funds straight into someone's account. I feel safer as a buyer using PayPal.

Yes but I went to your house, knew where you lived :) Thats enough for me to know ;D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
