Tricky.........if you were fitting it into a standard OEM car then you might have a case, unfortunately you fitted it and had the design parameters changed outwith the original OEM specification.
In common sense terms you are in the right but in law the old adage Res ipsa Loquitor applies and you have no legal remedy

Sorry, I'd got it wrong, I had already apologised in case I'd got it wrong because I wasn't sure. I Wasn't sure if it was related or not and now know it wasn't. Certainly didn't mean any offence by it.

Well it seems this thread has done some good. I had pm from a fellow scoobynet member who'd arranged to buy a turbo from this guy but didn't go through with the purchase.
Hi there sorry to see your problems with 2011scooby123 but I just thought I'd share with you my conversation with the seller. Luckily I never paid for the turbos as I was posting a cheque. Hope it all works out for you & thanks for the heads up.
Kind regards John
Hello, after reading a thread on scoobynet regarding these turbos, I would rather not go ahead on with this transaction.
Hope you understand.
Kind regards, John
Ok sorry you feel that way. That scooby net thread was frm a fella who i sold a turbo to in march. He mapped the car to 450bhp and runnin anti lag on new vf 48. It wont handle that bhp and turbo faild. He sent turbo back in bits and wanted another 1or full refund. it wasnt my fault and i will not be refunding due to incorrect mapping. Ive sold over 20 vf48 with all good feedback there is always 1person that will chance there arm. The turbo are 100percent sound. Sorry that u feel u cant compleat transaction. I will be leavein you netive feedback as non payment of items. Hope you understand. Regards
Thank you John for sending this, it appears Greg is actively watching this thread but 450bhp?! I wish! Not even Bob's mapping talent could manage that..
You should be ashamed Mr Hume.. Do the decent thing.

This seller is obviously a complete and utter moron. How does he think that a VF48 would be capable of 450bhp. 
I'd like to see him try and tell Bob what's he doing wrong, FFS the guy can't even spell the most simple words.
It's just a pity that the seller is a pillock, I hope you get your money back.

Bugeyejohn.........
I guess the statement is "with supporting mods", if the buyer does not have the correct supporting mods then the test in law fails..
On the balance of probability Bob Rawle could have mapped it to within an inch of it's life so that test fails...
Bolam test also fails so seller wins hands down !

Supporting mods could include nitrous, methanol, change of engine......caveat emptor applies IMHO
sadly in contract law seller wins as he provided the item as described IMHO

Seller stated in the dispute comments he would replace as long as it hadn't been fitted incorrectly - which it hadn't, now he changes his mind.
FMIC, cleaned 440's, Magnex headers, Harvey up-pipe, 3" exhaust & a VF48 altogether producing 312bhp

Thanks for everyone's input, it's very much appreciated!
I just don't understand why he just didn't ship out another turbo as they're apparantly costing him just £380..

just a matter of time before these ''sellers'' buy good turbos from genuine sellers, say the turbo has failed and claim a refund then sell on to others as Paypal always side with the buyer now.
Ive has buyers send me back there old damaged panels trying to claim refunds for parts Ive sent them. I sign my parts with magic markers though.

If I'd of said.. "Here's the guy that sold it to you" then you'd be perfectly within your rights to have a go, but I'd not do that without proof.
Anyway, where are you boys in NI getting all these turbos from?
Rally car preps or something?
