Default ordered a turbo from the states.. experiences?

went through all the usual channels, then decided on ordering from the good 'ol US of A.

Getting to almost a week later and the guy hasn't even sent it off yet. Probably first and last time I order from deadbolt enterprises. Anyone have any positive/negative experiences when ordering from over there?

Read : Drop shipper.

You will find he wont post it for a while, usual story with smaller ebay style shops.

Ive never had a problem buying things from USA, just gotta email them personally first, get the vibe so to speak, speak to other people that have bought from them before. ect ect

I have dealt with JB Performance (www.jbperformanceusa.com) and had great pricing, service and delivery. Couldn't ask for better.

FP are the worst people to deal with post sale.

You will get your quote and invoice within 2 days. Good luck seeing the turbo for the next two months.

haha, yeh i did read about fp... i was debating getting the green direct from the states but after reading a few different forums, decided against it.


in regards to my issue.. after i posted in his vendor thread, he emailed me MANY times, replied to me on the forum, gave me all the details, his life story and a million apologies and the item is sent.

Now, just gotta wait for it to come through.

Troy @ PSR (www.prospeedracing.com.au) has an FPG in stock atm I believe. PM T-Rexx or email/call him - Details on website.

i debated the green, but quite a few guys over east are running them... and noone had anything good to say about their customer service, so i went to a new option.


with the one i bought, i get free rebuilds for life.. sure, it'll cost me around $120 to get it delivered to and fro, but it's still a terrific bonus considering what i ended up picking it up for anyway...
from the reading i've done, it'll produce quite a bit more power than the green too, but we'll see if that's true.. gotta run the engine in, then open it up after 5000 clicks - which will take a little while.

You should not have any problems dealing with Jerry. Deadbolt are well respected albeit a bit slow off the mark sending things. My Deadbolt "Monster TD04" Hiflowed Ceramic Coated with Monster Wastegate TD04 Housings arrived in good time with a free overhaul kit to boot. Jerry was very helpful and knowledgeable with any technical questions as well. That little Monster is still punching a 12.8 qtr mile. Relax it will arrive.

Love the way people who have never dealt with Deadbolt wade in to dish the shit. Yeah small ebay shop...Deadbolt Enterprises
