This is a review of the seller Joefresh
I bought a used T-28 turbocharger from Joefresh. I asked him, specifically if he had used this turbocharger on his own vehicle.
He said yes, it "
always pulled hard, no smoke no shaft play"
When I got the turbo, I inspected it thoroughly. Indeed it has very little shaft play. The wheel looked a little beat up, and I could tell it had been heavily cleaned, but that was to be as expected. I just needed a good CHRA to last for a year or two in case something happened to mine.
I installed this turbo, and on the first drive noticed a horrendous squealing / whining noise at part throttle. Something you would
definitely have noticed if you OWNED and DROVE with this turbocharger. It appears that Joefresh had
lied when he said he used it, otherwise he would have heard this obnoxious, obvious noise.
Buyers beware, although I believe Joefresh has good intentions, he is clearly lying, making up stories, about his used parts in order to sell them.
I took pictures of the turbo and install for reference like I always do
I used all new gaskets and followed FSM procedure, everything went together super clean. I've never had a problem with any parts from Zilvia members before, this was the first time a community member had lied to me, and it rubbed me the wrong way.
