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.

Someone posted up that link before and had a good read. But will that put me off from buying another Garrett turbo/turbos? Absolutely not.

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.
