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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
