I bought a brand new Garrett GTX3076R to do my planned upgrade, but my retarded local turbo shop (TurboTech Perth) accidently ordered me a GTX3071R. Then they lied to me, and knowingly tried to pass it off as 3076, hoping i wouldnt notice they had F-ed up the order. Obviously as soon as i got it out of the box i could tell it was the wrong turbo. If the lying pricks had of just been honest i wouldnt have wasted my whole lunch break driving across town to pick it up.
It seems im cursed when i buy turbos. When i got the Dom 2.5, the shop i bough it from f-ed up my order and sent out the wrong parts about 2 or 3 times... This time i thought id order from a local bricks and motar store, hoping to avoid all the hassles i had last time. But i got the same dis-honest lying bullsh1t i got from PSR.
So ive had the GTX3071R to play with over the weekend, while the correct turbo comes.
I was always curious about the differences between the Blouch Dom and the Garrett compressor wheels. I had always assumed the DOM2.5 was effectively a gt3071r with a custom billet comp wheel and stock location housings. This is true, but the Blouch wheel has a slightly different profile/silhouette than the Garrett. The Blouch is infact a little smaller and you can comfortably fit the Garrett housing over the Blouch wheel, but you cannot put the Blouch housing over the Garrett wheel.
