Now won't be buying a Garrett turbo in the future , will now look else where ! I hate how companys rely on reputation which once was the best & turn it to shit by trying to make their profit margins bigger ! I feel sorry for the employees which have put their heart & soul into the company , then get treated like a peice of shit ;)

Disgruntled employee.... What did he expect to happen when they were bought out? Of course there was lots of out sourcing/cost cutting during the "GFC", it also saved the jobs the in the companies that didn't go under, and supported the surrounding industries.

If we think that any other turbo manufacturer is different we're on crack.

could be right with other manufacturers here but,

i thats slightly hypocritial to say GFC and outsourcing and in the same sentence then refer to supporting the surrounding industries? explain that in depth when you're moving jobs offshore for worse quality at half the cost and giving away jobs not saving them.

Pretty much the next "8 months" is now here, there is no decline in product quality at all - lot of hot air about nothing.

i highly doubt that story is true to begin with, msot possibly just one turbo company going at the other, and writing crap, just google the things stated in that statement, cant see anything about caterpillar recalls or ford lawsuits anywhere on the net. all that ever comes up for like 10 pages is that same statement that has spread over like 200+ forums.

only way to check, get someone with a older garrett turbo to measure the front blades and compare to a new one. but i highly doubt their quality can really be that bad, even the cheap ebay nuggets, they do their job pretty well.

compare quality vs price vs performance between hks and garrett and see whats going on, hks turbos are almost double the price, so they better be double as good at minimum.

now i havent compared any tubros one against the other, im just going by whats on paper.

This is only the manufactuer... we still have logistics, wholesale, logistics, retail, sometimes logisitics, the workshop fitting the turbo etc.

I would also say that alot of jobs at Honeywell were saved by this action, yes alot were lost, but because the company did not go belly up, it saved the remaining American jobs.

I still recon the guy took it personally, which if you have put your heart and soul into a company, you would, but just saying, he did.

yeah i sensed it was quite old.. just wasnt sure of its legitmacy..good to know though that its more hype than anything.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
