PTE has great customer service, never had a problem with their turbos.Mackzero said:
so i cant help but think that this turbo is just a piece of poo. well regardless i get it back and put it on again drive it for about 100 miles never relly got on it due to lack of high octane gas to run on. well when i go to get on the highway i hear it spool up and then pop i didnt think it was the turbo this time it sounded like a ic pipe pop off. it wont bouild boost so i dont think much about it. get to a gas station check all the ic pipes...all good. uh oh. i take off my intake feel inside and what do ya know...trash the intake wheel was so torn up it wiggled around inside the intake housing like my fist in a coffee can. i pulled it off tear it down to my suprise the bearings are fine but the shaft has totally been sheared. 
there is no reason for this to have happened! PTE said they wont fix it anymore. so now im screwed out of $1k. if you want my opinion PTE can die for all i care. no one but FP will get my money from now on. soon to come FPT67!
hopefully sometime in the next week or two it'll get put to use.10sec talonTSi said:i have personally had horrible luck with PTE. i orderd a SC61 from them and put it on my fully built 6 bolt (eagle weisco JB stage 3 head) before i put 10 miles on it the turbo blew up trashed the intake and exhaust wheels ant trashed the intake housing. called them up told them what happened they honered their warranty and fixed it. at that time i was running the feed line from the head. they told me the bearings were toast and told me i needed to run feed from the oil housing. ok.... i changed it. get the turbo back. looks good. put it on the dyno make 500+ whp using a switchable tranny. get it off the dyno drive down the street turn around boosted it to about 28 psi and pop it goes again. talk to PTE again they say theyll fix it and they do. they told me it was still because of oil.... :thumbdown there was no way for me to get more oil to the turbo i ran the feed line from the oil housing like they said
Let you know how it goes.... BTW Overall PTE has great customer service and my last 2 rebuilds have had 1 week turnaround times, if anyone wants to know.
jk
sLoGSX said:I am the person fp-green is referring to and I just got the turbo back from the 3rd rebuild. First was due to oil feed coming from head from previous owner and I had to pay. I moved the oil feed to the oil filter housing and then had it go up again. They rebuilt under warranty due to "slight oil contamination". Got it back and 20 miles later it went up again. :thumbdown Sent it back and the rebuilt under warranty again but blamed it on "slight oil contamination" and being "starved for oil". I'm gonna double check this oil issue and then pop it back in. Being I have a brand new built motor with several oil changes under it's belt, there shouldn't be any issues. I'm gonna double check anyways.
