Do not, i repeat do not buy tdo5 7cm hot sides from turbolab america. I ordered one six months ago when some mani to turbo bolts seized in there. That one cost me 3 months of searching for a problem. I took it off to inspect and the casting edges had large burrs causing flapper to be stuck open, or so I thought. So i contacted them, let them know about the problem. He said must be a rare defect. So i ordered another from him because i like to have 2 of everything. Well problem went away with new one after a short period of time it came back. So heres the deal. Where the flapper arm goes through the casting, it is not welded, pressed, nothing, just in there. I of course got pissed and called the owner. He still remembered me from before, i asked. Told him wtf? He said "you should weld it in there". Wtf sell me a p.o.s. then tell me to fix it. And they know they are selling these defective. Im done with these clowns. They want me to pay all shipping costs and they will fix it. Pssssssh. Just a heads up fellow dsmers!
