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 ([url]www.jbperformanceusa.com[/url]) 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 ([url]www.prospeedracing.com.au[/url]) has an FPG in stock atm I believe. PM T-Rexx or email/call him - Details on website.

I highly recommend dealing with prospeedracing.com.au

Last 2 - 1 for me and leaves 1 and thats taken or under offer ...

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. :D Relax it will arrive.

Love the way people who have never dealt with Deadbolt wade in to dish the shit. Yeah small ebay shop...[URL=http://www.boostplanet.com/]Deadbolt Enterprises[/URL]
