Had me car at RC Developments for a while now, engine rebuild and fitting of a set of ball bearing spool up turbo's from Turbo dynamics, not cheap either at £1,645.00 pair

anyway they were working Sunday to get the ready for me for collection tomorrow and had everything fitted, fired up, when woosh smoke pissing out of 1 of the Zorsts, car on ramps, down pipe removed, fired up and oil was pissing out through exhaust outlet on turbo, on 1 turbo only, various checks and tests done to eliminate engine probs, confirmed turbo failure, at midnight they e-mail me the enclosed pics. I contact Craig at turbo dynamics, not in a happy mood obviously, send him pics too, guess what his responce was to my e-mail requesting we sort things out before the end of the day, he pissed of home for his tea, so have e-mailed him again stating i will take legal action if these turbo's are not removed and replaced at his expence, nice company eh ?

what do you guys think ? smithy

One reason that i know of which includes my other twin turbo car is that then you can see weather the oil return feed pipe from the bottom of the turbo is fully working right.Becourse on some cars this is imposable to see due to tight spaces.If no oil comes out during initial prime up,there is a problem with turbo or oil pressure, but no dammage would have been done due to engine not running on its own steam.I dont know if this is the only reason with the Z but that is one reason anyway.Chaz

 

 

Smithy whats the latest news m8?

Not saying that this is the best way to deal with the situation but a friend of mine was having a similar problem with a garage when he had his Cossie.

 

He decided to take the route of getting the garage owner to come to a quick decision by using his fists.

 

It worked! He got an apology too.
