VF28 Turbo
#1
VF28 Turbo
VF28 Turbo from my STI Version 6, no smoke and in working order, still on car at the moment, which will be coming off in the next few days.
Made 305bhp/290lb/ft with just a full decat, air filter on Powerstation Rolling Road and with a slipping clutch, so maybe could have made more!!!
This should fit any Impreza, and im sure on a UK turbo 2000 with a full decat, filter and a remap should see 300bhp. also its the same turbo they use on the Sti v5 and P1.
190 quid

I checked that turbo over and the blades where perfect, this was took off my car which was working last week, there was no problems with this turbo.
If you send the turbo back, I will inspect the turbo and give you a refund, I have marked the turbo in a place that no one would find but me. As it saves anyone who has a broken turbo buying one and sending me the broken one back.
Im a honest person, and would not rip anyone off on Scoobynet, I know plenty of people on Scoobynet and they will tell you that I am a honest. But if my turbo is damaged I will give you a refund.

Ok mate thankyou for your promt reply! I will send back to you tomorrow. I can assure you I have not swapped this turbo over or tampered with it etc etc I have only just got in from work and looked at the turbo and noticed this!
I mean no offence by this but I noticed the chuncks out the impellers almost straight away and as you can see in the pictures they're pretty obvious....
Please pm me your address asap so can get the turbo ready posting

sorry but your obviously about as blind as scoobyboy1 and mattybr5 then. The turbo was covered in gunk and blackness and I used my desktop lamp to shine it down into the shaft and could see the chunks missing very easily hence how clear you can see in the pictures. The turbo has marks all over it so he should easily recognise it, lets see what happens when hes received it shall we and not keep accusing me? I have not bitten yet to all these surgestive remarks towards my character, dont push me! I am totally pissed of about this as i asked him to inspect the turbo very carefully b4 i sent payment.

scoobyboy1 please shut your mates up and lets keep this sensible please.
Mattybr5 can I ask you a question did you use a screw driver to prize the hose of the turbo? as there was a nice scratch all the way down the hose mount section. Mates like you we could all do without

If there is a problem shouldn't you be sorting out via PM rather than slating each other in a public forum?
It is no wonder the testosterone levels are so high on this thread, if you want to question each others character then fine but do it in private.

I have been accused in pm also a few times! And I didnt bite the bullet then and said politely I will return the turbo straight back for your inspection. I was then accused of other things which is when I thought it might be best to go public and show up these w*&^&* for wasting my time and money. My gfs dad has been a Vehicle Technician for like 35 years shall I get him on here aswell lol ZZzzzz

I can understand that the chips out the impellars might of been missed because if you look in the picture its the back part of the impellar and aless you shine a light down there its blackened out from the shaft. I only noticed after shining a light down there and inspecting the impellars closely. I almost missed it myself because I was more concerned in cleaning the turbo up from the black gunk all over the hose mounting sections etc ready for fitting

Ok I see your point and in your position to be honest I would probably react the same if PM'ing did not work , especially when people other than the seller start throwing in as well.
I also have worked in the motor trade for over 17 years and can fully appreciate your position.

Come on everyone, its getting out of hand a bit now. I havent slated or abused 1uke on this thread. Ive asked 1uke to return the turbo to inspect it myself I cant say fairer then that, Like anyone in the same position I cant just give a refund because the buyer said that its damaged, I need to inspect it myself.
Ive replied to evey PM you have sent me 1uke and I havent been funny with you at all(dont understand why you said I havent replied to you sending pics of turbo, didnt think you asked), so no need for some of the comments on this thread, I havent turned round to you and said you cant have a refund.
Only other thing Luke, is that you Pm'd me to say the turbo was faulty at 8.59pm and by 9.08pm you made it public on this thread instead of keeping it between us, and stopped the PayPal payment all in a space of 30 minutes!!!! there was no need to post on this thread, all it has done now its turned into a slanging match between some of the other members that no me. Fair enough if I turned round and said you cant have a refund then id understand if you made in public!!!!
I want to get this sorted, I have over 3000 posts and have been on scoobynet for 5 years and have sold 000's of stuff over the years, and never had any problems.

1uke i am a p1ssed off as you mate, as this was working on my car last week with no problems. and when me and mattybr5 removed it, we double checked all the blades and it was in perfect working order, Now im left with a broken turbo and 170 quid out of pocket, so you can see why im angry about the situation to.
But if it its my turbo then I will give you a refund, You have already stated that this is the 3rd turbo that you have recieved that has been broken also from other people. if you had 3 broken turbo's so far you must be very unlucky!!!
Like I say i'll inspect the turbo once sent, If its the turbo I sent out then I can only appoligise, but I 100% checked that turbo, so I dont understand why the blades have chunks missing out of them.

I feel right from the start you have been accusing me of swapping or tampering with the turbo. Sorry but all I did was take it out the packaging and start to clean/inspect the turbo. I never had a go at you saying why did not you check it properly etc etc and I never asked for a refund straight away, my intention was always to send it back and let you see for yourself. You have stated several times that you and co checked the turbo and it was perfect which makes me sound like a lier. You cant of checked it very well thats all I can say!! Why even mention about the turbo being swapped etc untill you have seen it for yourself...
Regarding the 3 turbo's I have had problems with: 1 didnt even turn up, the other had a crack on the wastegate hole edge of which I got a full refund! 3rd was this turbo.
Your twisting everything I say in regards to never replied to pm comment. What I said was I offered you more pictures of anything on the turbo zoomed out or zoomed in etc etc but you didnt say yes.
I went so cooled public so quickly because of your first comments on the paypal dispute stating you think I must of swapped the turbo and that you had inspected the turbo pritor to sending it to me and it was perfect condition certainly no chuncks out the impellar blades. And you declined the refund straight away. I was never expecting payment then but I had to state in the dispute that I wanted a refund eventually.
I therefore expected trouble from you so thought I might aswell go public. And didnt slate you, I just stated I felt like I was having bad luck.

Recieved the turbo back from 1uke today, and it is my turbo that I sent out, On inspection you can not see the chunks missing from the blades, only way you notice them is if you shine a tourch on the blades itsef, but from just looking at them I couldnt see them and neither could my dad on first inspection.
I can only say im sorry to 1uke and have sent you your refund for the turbo on Paypal!!!
