My buddy at Napa Auto in Kelseyville who also has a dsm checked out your turbo said the wheel does make contact?

The thrust bearing is definitely bad. it has at least 4-5mm on side to side play and the compressor wheel definitely touched the housing

...then he better pass on the $150 refund offer and file a Paypal claim to return the turbo. Sounds like this thing's a bigger headache than it's worth.

This thing has more problems then i thought, I was told to put some oil in it and see if the in and out reduces, it didnt at all now theres oil comming out of the rear of the turbo sand the ehaust guess that means this thing is to far gone?

Since you bought it used from an unknown source, you're foolish to run it as-is without rebuilding it first. Doesn't matter the mileage- 500 or 50,000; the same amount of internal damage can be done if you run a turbo that was ever improperly-oiled or fed contaminated oil from a failing engine.

would have only ran it as is if i was 100% confident that there was no shaft play and everything appeared working no leaks or anything, i might be new but I do my research as much as I can, this guy had me convinced that it was in working condition that it was solid i payed a solid price i think he new all along it was bad thats why i havent gone through on the refund yet

Just got off the phone with pay pal and things are still in review hope they issue a refund

Yea, that sounds like a rip. Diffently get your full refund. Sounds like he lied through his teeth on the posting. Passed it off as a perfect unit, then when you recieved it tried to pass it off as a good rebuildable unit. Then now it's kinda turned into toast.

I'd stop engaging the seller and let paypal/ebay go over the dispute. They favor the buyer most of time.

They should bro I had the same issue a few years ago. Guy told me turbo was freshly rebuilt and had no play or cracks in turbine housing, but was completely bull. I actually had my credit card company reverse payment and once PayPal saw that they issued a full refund and I didn't even have to return the turbo.

[JusMX141]

PM me and we'll talk.

But yeah don't let this guy get the best of you. Let Paypal handle it, and leave a negative feedback for the item not being as described.

In the one and only dispute I had with an ebay purchase, Ebay did the dispute. Paypal never dealt with it. Just transfered money.

He finally admitted he new that it had shaft play but thought it was normal because youtube videos said it was alright,

Anyways great news they closed the case now i have to ship it anyone have any idea how long it takes to get the refund I need it asap

 

[Dsmkauai]

I think as soon as you show prove you have shipped it back they will issue the refund. Also if you wanna save on shipping cost back get a medium or large USPS priority box. I've shipped a few turbos this way for like $15 and no issues at all. And you can get delivery confirmation to use as the tracking number.

It has nothing to do with ebay, ebay isn't a company that sells stuff, it is just an auction website where people sell their stuff. You can get ripped off anywhere.

I tried for about a week and couldnt find anything now im just waiting on the funds to get back in my account so i can slap in a turbo and go guess maybe i chose the wrong car for DD

 

[Dsmkauai]

Na your good bro! I dd my eclipse for about 15 years and raced it all the time and finally after 240,000 it let go. Its a great car to dd if you stay up on the maintenance and get parts worth putting on the car. Pm Justin he already said he would help you out, and if you want a turbo to last he's the guy to get it from. Just make sure to follow his instructions on proper install and oiling and you'll be good to go bro.

gotta get this money im going to be borowing cars all week my car is blowing constant smoke noticed it yesterday its eating oil too hope its just the turbo? the turbine moves around like a bobble head its crazy

 

[Dsmkauai]

Ya it happens but I would seriously park it and not push it anymore. If it hasnt fully let go yet you should be able to swap turbo's and change the oil. One week of borrowing a car isn't so bad. If that turbo finally lets go and takes your motor with it, you will be borrowing for much longer than a week. Take the down time to freshen things up abit and prep for the new turbo install.

Yup, I got ripped off by someone on here selling a "rebuilt" E3 16G. I filed a paypal claim and got my money back though.
