I wasn't aware that removing & re-installing the turbo could pose a threat to the life of the turbo ... explain this more
the only reason why the turbo was removed so many times, is because I was trying to diagnose the problem ... the turbo was removed once prior to the smoking (only to install it on my CTI manifold) ... then it was removed again off my blown motor & installed on my new one (but the turbo was already smoking before the motor blew) ... then in the process of diagnosing I removed the turbo probably 4-5 times to check for oil in the turbo, manifold & head ... I don't see how removing it 4-5 times AFTER the turbo was smoking caused the turbo to blow ... hell, I don't see how removing it 1 time had any influence on the turbo blowing
dude, think about it from their standpoint. you didn't just bolt it on and it started to smoke so you pulled it off and sent it out to them. it's been on and off so who knows if dirt or something got in there when it was off. then when you blew your motor (because of reving it to 7k moronicly) when the bearings spun (or then later detached themselves) metal could easily have traveled into that turbo. i'm not saying that's what caused it so smoke, i'm just saying you really don't have a leg to stand on, brosef.
in all fairness tho, if it were my company i would still warranty this for you regardless of what you did just to get repeat business and good customer relations. however since you were dumb enough to STILL BUY FROM THEM, it looks like this was a win-win situation for them.
nicely played good sir.

Ive said it once and Ill say it again. You must not feed the Raven
I've never installed a big turbo, but is there a "break-in" period of 500-1000 miles before you beat on it, or once you install can you drive it like you stole it?

they don't even know how many times I removed & re-installed the turbo ... apparently they don't read the forums or they would have posted in this thread, so there's no way they knew that I even removed the turbo more than once
they also didn't know I blew my motor
they also didn't tell me what the oil was contaminated with ... I believe that it's my right to know what the oil was contaminated with if they're going to refuse to warranty my turbo which then cost me upwards of $450 ... as a consumer I should have that right
don't act like I'm the first one to rev to 7k on a stock block ... it's been done time & time again so don't make me captain of this fail ship
lastly, I have no intentions on paying for this turbo ... so how it's a "win-win" situation for them is beyond me ... apparently you didn't read all of my last post

a "break-in" period associated with a turbo is mainly to ensure that there's no oil or coolant leaks due to the install (lines/hoses, fittings, blocks, etc.) ... AGP reccomends 100 miles, although it's not totally necessary
well, just checked my email again ... 0 emails from Slowboy today
still no answer as to whether my shipping can be expedited so I guess I'll have to wait til monday ... and still no answer as to whether or not they're shipping my old CHRA back .... *sigh*

you shouldn't argue with Raven he is an expert in these matters. His credentials are having one of the top five fastest srt-4's even though it doesn't run and don't forget he is so successful he can afford to live in his parents basement for free.

you'd be suprised what info spreads...
if they claim the oil was contaminated then yes, i agree you deserve a copy of the oil analysis.
i didn't say you were the first, i just said you were a moron. i stand by that.
the last post i read and was replying to made it seem you bought another turbo from them...

this isn't OT, so i won't go into detail about how much of a faggot you are. i'll stick to the topic at hand.

they claimed the oil was contaminated but will still not answer me ... after asking at least 5 times what it was contaminated with I still get the "I'll check into it" response ... going by my experience, if I ask about 15 more times I'll probably get an answer
I did buy another turbo from them, but like I stated multiple times already, the charge is going to be reversed
checked my email again just now ... as you can probably guess, still no email with any info ... no answer as to whether I'm getting my blown CHRA back or whether my shipping can be expedited

i would just chalk this up to a loss and call Ben or John at AGP and go from there then.
