Its no excuse but you have to remember you are paying 1/4cof the price of what Trust want. IF we are lucky thats mostly down to support/service and maybe the occassional quality probpm me your number. If my oil line will fit yours then you can have mine as i never plan on using them

I rekon keep going with Mr Eiji

Make sure he is aware of the 170 page thread on SAU which clearly notes he is not giving warranty where his product has failed.

As much as I like Kando, this does tarnish my opinion somewhat... I feel its only fair you get a replacement. You should offer to mail him the CHRA in exchange for another (mail to TW is at your expense).

Thats probably the fairest option, coz then you dont get to keep 2 turbos with one that will potentially not fail.

lol...u got no hope..its a well used item, whos to say it hasnt seen excessive temps or something..

cmon guys we all know the car game, stuff always breaks, you get what you pay for, its worth 1/3 what you pay for it the minute its used, never expect a miracle and warranties arent worth the paper they are written on...

besides, It may have lasted ages like that had you not pulled it off and noticed the damage..

its 400$ for a new core, or what is it 100$ maybe to replace the wheel...suck it up and move on...

that feeling is mutual my friend :laugh:

Have you tried asking for a compromise, e.g. you ship the turbo back and he repairs it free of charge? Does the seller offer any sort of warranty on the product?

I beleive he was offered a replacement wheel fitment but he has to pay for the wheel...it would of been nice to throw in the wheel..

if u do this, should try a billet comp wheel while its being done...either way its not like its an expensive fix..

Ask him to send a Billet fitted CHRA at a cut price to come to a mutual agreement. Like $150 or something for the new CHRA.

Thats GOT to cover the production cost and mailing lol.

On another note, a DIRECT COMPETITOR of Kando delayed shipping to me by 3 weeks on some trivial item and when I asked them what sort of feedback am I meant to give you now? They replied good feedback, your getting a full refund and keeping the item. Were really sorry messed up that bad. That was nice of them I thought!

battery, see if you can open a dispute case with PayPal and see if they can help you out.

I think he is well within his rights to deny a replacement so its not something I would start a paypal dispute over.

Make sure he is aware of the 170 page thread on SAU which clearly notes he is not giving warranty where his product has failed.

Yeh i did that, this is whats most concerning that he doesn't care and won't even reply to my emails anymore.

That's pretty much what i was after but no luck

if u do this, should try a billet comp wheel while its being done...either way its not like its an expensive fix..

Yeh my plan was to just buy a turbine wheel and pay to have it fitted here, not interested in waiting 3 months for a turnaround sending it back to him.. May do the billet wheel sort of at a cross roads trying to decide if i should do springs, injectors, cams and a retune or just fix the turbine wheel and go...

Its probably gonna be cheaper to just buy a new chra with the billet wheel for a couple of hundred. I think fitted and balanced of new Angeles would cost similar anyway

Worked out a deal with him, I send the CHRA back he fits a new turbine wheel, billet comp wheel, balances and posts back to me for the price of the billet wheel. Not completely satisfied but that's the best Im gonna get out of them..

That's not really too bad at all, you could have been a lot worse off!

Don't change anything else... I'm keen to see a direct comparison between the wheels to see if I order one haha

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
