May Turbonetics ROT IN HELL
Alright here is the deal I aquired a 93 rx7 with a big single turbo all the bolt ons and a blown up motor. Went to atkins to have the motor rebuilt, went to corksport for a new clutch and to have my injectors sized and cleaned and to have my turbo rebuilt. They sent it off to turbonetics to be rebuilt, 3 weeks later turbonetics still hasnt got it done. They tried for another week and a half to get it shipped to me and said it was done. It finally show's up at corksport and turbonetics neglected to rebuild the damn thing!!! OVER A MONTH AND THEY COULDNT REBUILT IT!!! Corksport has been trying like hell to get everything done and turbonetics dropped the ball EVERY TIME. They lost my business for life, AND I BREAK ALOT OF CRAP!!!
Thank you turbonetics for makeing me drive my mustang for a extra 2 months, after I just sank 15k+ into my new car!!!

A LONG time ago, when TURDBONETICS came out with their "ceramic ball bearing" stuff. 2 out of the 3 turbos that customers purchased through me failed, and died quickly (like 30 minutes after installation). These were all 930's (turbo 911s), and the customers were MEGA pissed. Turdbonetics claimed that the install was faulty, overboost, someone dropped it, just about everything they could claim to get out of it.
After finding no other solution, my credit card company handled it nicely for me. Obviously, I dispise TURDbonetics as much, if not more than you.

Turbonetics !!!! Plain CRAP !!!!
The only thing I get from them is their turbo accessories.....
I had their turbos fail within months from installing them.......WHY???? they always blame the return line or other.
I had Precision rebuild their turbos and they always mention.......
QUALITY CONTROL !!!!
Either way.....Precision all the way for me.

Still, if its a Precision turbo why wasnt it sent to Precision in the first place??? I dont know that Turbonetics will rebuild turbos that arent thier own. If they dont, they were probably wondering what the hell a Precision turbo was doing there.

TIME.
I had a turbocharger overhauled for a friend through www.turbochargers.com and it has no issues at all.

I called Jaime (the J in MJM) and he refused to do anything , he said that he doesn't warrant performance parts . My friend and me pulled the turbo apart and found that one of the little clips that keep the bearings in place was missing , the one on the compressors end , so the bearing had moved from where it was supposed to be and ended up on the opposite end , leaving the compressor side to move around. I called them back and told them what we found , he said that that was impossible and he personally checks each unit before they are shipped out ! . So where the **** did the retaining clip go ??, I never received anything from them , I had to fix the turbo myself at majestic .
