And what I got was complete JUNK. I am so pissed off right now I could almost drive from michigan to new york to strangle this kid. I bought an A543 tranny from him and his home made turbo manifold setup. Yes, home made, but I thought what the heck it should work. I received the turbo kit and this is what I got.

Yes, you can see light through where the turbo mounts. He says that "it never leaked under the hood". I used paypal and charged it on my credit card. What do you think I can do? The kid says he wont give me my money back. I am literally going to take a road trip if I cant get something out of this scumbag. Sorry, I just had to rant......I absolutely hate getting ripped off online.

I paid the jerk $125 for a 2 manifolds, the crossover with the turbo mount, a tapped oil pan and some hoses. From the pictures he sent it didn't look all that bad, but now I feel like a total idiot for even thinking about buying the stuff. I also bought the transmission and cables, shifter, etc for $175. He shipped everything for $100, but neglected to send the clutch cable and pedal saying they wouldn't work, after I told him to send it along with everything else anyway. Over and over I told him to make sure I get anything and everything I need to do the swap, and he screwed me.

sorry to hear about that, I would try to get your money back from paypal or do a road trip. A turbo shouldn't have cracks in it, what is the point if it has cracks ?

I don't know what that kid was bolting that turbo up to, but it doesn't look very good.

File a dispute with paypal and they'll freeze his account and look into what happend and try to find your money back (assuming the guy doesnt just give up and agree with paypal and give you the mony back).

Do a chargeback on your credit card immediately
