Update so everyone knows what happened.

Jerry sent me a partial refund. Out of my $350 I sent him I got back $282.20. He kept $50 for the teardown, and the rest was for return shipping. Whatever, $50 isn't worth raising my bloodpressure anymore to deal with him. He's obviously a fuckface and his business will at some point suffer due to his lack of communication.

I mentioned that I got word that there are in fact shops that can get parts and repair the turbo. I then later stated that it didn't matter, and I was getting a entire new setup anyway. In this last email from him, he told me that was odd. Why would I get a new turbo kit if there are shops that can repair the one I have. I told him, at one point I was willing to pay him close to $700 for the work on my TD04. And now I just got a complete kit for a little more than half of that. I told him it's this fucking game we have been playing for the past 4 weeks that's odd. :vash:

I told him that he has no grounds to say anything other than "I'm sorry" and to send my back my turbo/refund. Fucking guy is a dirtbag, stay away from Deadbolt.

Vash-

Let whammxa5 drive to the shop!

They are over 3 hours away, I think you are closer than me.
Vash-I agree that this is the best thing that could have happend in your scenario, now you will have a proven setup from a reputable person from right here at MTnet.

don't you mean his avatar?

Yes, great minds think alike.
sovvy :giggle:

the shop sounds like a bunch of idiots. they don't even know that the vr4 has a 9b comp wheel, they put a 12a! that alone tells me they suck with td04 variants.

I just wanted to put closure to this ordeal.

It took overall, 1 month exactly from date I sent the turbo, to day I received the turbo back. No work was done, but I was charged the $50 for the teardown and return shipping. PayPal took about 4 days to go from pending to refunded. I opened the box and it was packed well, I didn't know what to expect seeing I was more than dick to this guy by the end of everything. He sent the turbo back put together, but without the wastegate? Its not worth shit to me anyways now. I plan on putting the TD04 on the shelf as a decoration.

So all in all, this was a HORRIBLE experience with DEADBOLT. I would NOT recommend them to anyone after my experience.

As all of this was going on I was fortunate enough to buy Lee's FM3 from him. And I took the return money from DEADBOLT and used it to buy a LC-1 off ebay just now!

From now on any turbo work I need done will be locally, or I will read a book for once. :eek5:

Vash-

Jeff's company name should be called "deadbeat" instead of deadbolt.
