I read 4 or 5 of the emails from that dumbass and got tired of reading his bullshita! from what i read BEGi jumped through loops for that guy who didnt even deserve to have that kind of help! have have ordered alot of parts from BEGi and if there were ever any discrepancies with a part/parts they did what they could to help me, and if i had a problem with install i would call and they would help me sort it out!


somobdy please BAN that SOB!

I seem to have the same luck. Two PWS pump failures in 2 years. Seriously! The PWS pump rarely fails, yet I've managed to bust two of them. A metallic core cat failure! Supposed to be the most hardy converter there is, but yet I still am able to fail it. The numerous coil pack failures probably did not help. The coil pack failures have been out the wahzoo, some even accidental failures when testing parts. Two convertible latch failures, radiator failure, turbo failure, and the list goes on. Some how the engine is still ok. (knocking on wood now). :eek5:

COPs.

Looking forward to getting my "Partial S4," Stephanie, should be here Friday!

Stephanie Turner 03-31-2010 01:52 PM

LOL. Maybe......

I've busted a few engines already, that were not mine. That sinking feeling in your head and stomach is not pleasant. But hey, more boost solves all problems!

Excellent! Unpack, inspect, and let me know if there are problems.

Malevalax is obviously a spiteful asshat. He is spending more time and effort badmouthing BEGI on the internet than on a solution or compromise. Uber twattery.

That is a good word. If you pay attention you really can learn something new every day!

Stephanie,
My turbo is not longer puking smoke or blowing oil out the BOV with the restricter.

Thanks,
Mr. Universe

Chinese turbo's are hit or miss and you should have known that before hand. I am on my second one that I got from ebay. The first one lasted 2 weeks, fortunately the place I got it from had a 30 day warranty and they replaced it without question and the replacement has been running strong for almost a year.

None of the parts Begi built failed on you, you chose to cheap out on the turbo and you fell into the miss category. It's sucks but that is the risk you took.

The way I read it the 15 day warranty was not communicated until after the sale was already completed. Sounds like he has a valid claim.

Just to be clear on the approved method, if there are any issues should I: 1. call or email you to try to work it out or 2. come on here and bitch about it? :giggle:

I've had my Begi S4 for about 18 months now. Steph and everyone at Begi have been more than available and helpful, far and above what I would ever have expected. Anyone who mentions them and poor customer service in the same sentence has no credibility with me.

Finally, we found the solution!!!! Glad to hear it works well.

Since you're in here, I have a question:

Say I wanted to place an order for an s4 tubular manifold for a 99-00 miata non egr. How soon should I expect to get one? What about a log style?

Already addressed. Please read what I previously posted .

So we are left with:
1. IF his turbo is defective, it can be replaced.
2. IF he sends it back to me.
3. If the turbo is defective, it will be replaced by the manufacturer with a new one.
4. If the turbo is not bad, he is still left with trouble shooting to do on his car.

Where did we not address his claim? Where did we not go the extra mile to find a solution for him?
