Term can still tune you if you have already been tuned by him. You just have to a cable on your end. He still has all the software and what not. Just not a cable.

 

no i blew up my trans like a year ago. LOL. i have a 4.05 LSD trans now. holding up good.

what kind of upgrades? you still don't have that thing on?

 

Sup Dart,

Ive had the BNR on for a while now. Juat getting a billet compressor wheel and 11 fins, 360 thrust washer, better seals etc.


Well, I sent him a text yesterday and he didnt respond. Terms a great guy and I understand if he has new endeavors he wants to pursue. Im not really hurting for a tuner as I have my buddy who tunes. When Reese Millin called him to help tuning his Hyundai for Pikes Peak, I was like "Ok I guess Ill let him tune the car"

 

Well, i recieved my turbo today, and i was suspicious, and after measuring it out, its a stocker through and through....damn it

 

Whod you buy from?

 

No way! Wouldn't you have to take it apart to measure it??

 

Yep, i took it apart. Everything is stock on this turbo

 

Im beyond pissed

 

Can't even imagine.

 

I've only met the guy once and he has an lsj, but I definitely don't think he was trying to **** you over.

 

If anything, you can see if he'll refund you the money. But, you did get it for less than half the price and atleast you have a turbo for you car. Yes it's a very shitty situation and I'd be pissed as hell too, but that was the chance you took since he didn't have the paperwork from the previous owner.

Sorry for it not working out as you hoped man, I feel bad since I referred you to him. But like I said, I don't think he is the kind of guy to rip you off.

 

Well, the deal is done, so im screwed now, AND THERE IS NO UPSIDE TO THIS SITUATION.
But its not your fault taintedred

 

I apologize regardless man.

Since it's apart, I'd try to see if you can rebuild it yourself and see what you can get out of it possibly.

 

$450 for a stock used turbo is already enough, so it will be for sale with the manifold to make some of my money back, not waste more.

 

Where you been at dart? Been MIA. You still have baby miles lol.

Dang Aaron. Sorry that happened man.

 

hopefully my mis-hap will turn into a blessing.

 

That sucks, hopefully you can sell it.

 

Yeah, i am really pissed, and the more i sit on this turbo without selling it, the more mad i will get..

 

Have sent PM to Area47 but no reply, any1 here got his email address ?

 

Try 09cobaltss1?

 

Do tell about this upgrade lol. i plan on sending my BNR in for an upgrade too. Im guessing its the revised version or is it something else?

im in the east coast now. Delaware specifically. i went through a divorce and am out of the army. all is well now. and for a 2010 its a decent amount of miles.

 

I texted you back eventually. Just know once the wg gets fixed all that that file you have needs is the wg duty cycle lowered about 10-15% in the midrange because I cranked it up trying to get your car to boost more than 19-20 psi. Once the WG is fixed it will likely boost 30 psi with the current tune.

 

Mine is an upgrade but not from BNR themselves. I have a local shop here in Cali called Pure Turbo's. They not only do local stuff but internationally as well. I had mine completely overhauled with new 360 thrust bearing, cleaned and compressor upgraded to billet. The main difference from them and BNR.....they have a VSR balancing machine and the turbo was balanced all the way to 120k rpm's. I promise you, BNR does not have that machine. They discovered that the exhaust turbine was rubbing against the housing and that usually indicates that the turbo was not balanced. Here are some pics...
