jayep91 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 hey people i brought tm developments td06 turbo (440bhp one) off sps dane some time ago but never used it, i have just sent it off to universal turbos to get it checked and they found the bearings and seals have been damage they said this was caused by a blown engine! so i emailed dane and he said he cant refund me the money because he doesnt believe dave would sell him a faulty turbo. universal turbos want £420 to rebuild it and im left felling done over!!

Dan Evans Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 id send it to another turbo company if i were you mate, i use one called BTN turbo, VERY good.They will tell you for sure if anythings wrong with it.I think the turbo company maybe trying to shaft you rather than Dane.If another company say its fooked, contact Dane.If Dane Refuses to give you a refund mate, you will have lost out unfortunatly, but Danes quite a good guy so he SHOULD give you some sort of re-fund.If you want me to send it to BTN PM me.

Dan Evans Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I've used universal turbo's before, not the best TBH.send it to garret, or BTN... they will inspect it and they will tell you for sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Was gonna say sounds like the company is trying to pull the wool over your eyes mate.Doubt Dave or Dane would want to ruin their reputations!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Evans Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 yeah CR turbos are very good actually, forgot to mension them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayep91 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 The garage its been sent through are very good friends of mine and they have a very good working relationship with universal turbos so i just cant see them trying to scam me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I will just add my comments to this as I am being threatened with legal action. This turbo cam off our own car, engine and turbo were running fine, no smoke from turbo. The engine is now in Belgium and fine. I sold this to Dane probably 9 months ago and have no idea what has happened since, BUT I can guarantee it was fine when I sold it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 dane ran this did he not? or was it sat doing nothing?i'd get another turbo company to look at it, just in case. nothing like a second opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 For all I know you could lying as its been so long since sold, cuts both ways mate. I will state again it was fine when I sold it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
