    Rob why do you even talk when you have the worst history of flop turbos? The amount of people I know locally who had your turbos that didnt even last a year. Some didnt even last 2 months. Smoking issues galore. I wouldn't use your products if they were free. Dont assume things and stop bashing the competition, it makes you look weak and its embarrassing to say the least.

    And no he wasnt on a pump gas tune and he didnt miss a gear because he was 6AT. So once again stop running your mouth. Your obviously worried because he made a product that is inexpensive and capable of 700whp.

Anyway all of the sudden they ship and now with no returns allowed (not entirely uncommon on build to order products without some sort of restocking fee/etc), however the BIGGEST issue it seems is that they say he can not TRANSFER ANY OF this amazing 3 year warranty if he immediately resells (on the product he was just literally delivered)!

    WOW that is going to fly over well, if can not even transfer a warranty on a brand new just delivered product there are some good odds the warranty was never good for anything anyway. Not looking too good already...

    Rob

    Don't believe anything you read there.
    He claims to already have a DOC single kit. But did the stg 3 chinabay garbage. Now has stg 4 for $#@! knows why.
    IG fame and BS marketing IMO.



    I'm doing a speedtech kit and now he's bugging me about it. I ain't saying $#@!.



    Rob, you're a great guy and great for the community. Don't get caught up in the kiddo $#@! show please.

    Cool story bubs. We ship at least 3 sets a week, for over a decade now. Do that math.

    So far the stage 4s are yet to deliver on "stage 4-ness"
    140+mph traps on the 1/4 etc. But, its early days and a few people are putting them in now.
    Longevity is another question but, we dont get answers on that till they start popping....or not?

    Just heard a failure case they recently had this morning, declining warranty for having stock exhaust of all things. This is an Ace in the hole if there ever was one! They may as well just say they have a lifetime warranty if the plan is to decline coverage for anything and everything anyway? More N54 marketing gimmicks as usual, and the same poor ole suckers to fall into the pitch.

    I know of another failure as well, logs looked healthy, rear turbo is doing the death siren, though. wgdc peaked at 79% at 8000 rpm at 24psi.

    He's still in the warranty process, but it sounded like the excuses were coming early. Hasn't posted yet since afraid of not getting service, but we'll see what happens.

    Back in my day (old man voiceClick here to enlarge) the consumer posted EVERYTHING pre-emptively BECAUSE they wanted to MAKE SURE they had coverage, as if the public were there to police their particular scenario. Now with this new generation of vendors tripping all over themselves it's the opposite all hush as to not upset them and jeopardize their repair assistance.

    In short these new whipper snapper FB/Ebay based vendors really knew how to swing things around in their favor in these later years, must be nice being slimy like that and simultaneously being able to sleep at night but it all catches up eventually.

    The gift of humor in this DAW heist never seizes to keep on giving. Amidst several recent failure complaints among recent orders, now the "once ~4 authorized DAW dealers", are being outed as selling (get this) FAKE DAW turbos. Man just when you thought you'd heard it all, this is so awesome I mean you just CAN NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

    Now I know some of you don't like this sort of thing, vendor slashing "vendor" and slash back with a "hey I heard a story about you one time in 2015", but you have to understand just how damn funny this all really is and just how big of goofballs there are in N54 land.

    Can't wait to hear whats going to happen on the next DAWs of our lives!

    PS: I really may have over estimated this vendor passerby, what it looks as of today it'll be a shocker if they even ring into the new year.

    DAW turbos is like watching a dumpster fire. The more you learn the more sketchy the whole things is.

    I tried to visit the shop where they build the turbos and was told I can't, all I can see is the garage where they do installs. Their VSR balance sheets are fakes it looks like.

    But hey a 3 year warranty!

    Yep. It has been mentioned prior but if they are going to have problems and then always point the finger elsewhere then they may as well call it a lifetime warranty to get more sales and just point the finger elsewhere indefinitely.

    There is a massive difference between a 3 year warranty that is always deflected and a 1 year warranty where you basically get some (or all) coverage no matter what the cause. Quite often (or more often that not anyway), when we get that occasional set back we provide coverages medium to large (regardless of fault) within the warranty period. This is especially true when the customer is most forthright and cooperative about the becoming of the issue.

    as a double turbo, I found gtx2860, here in Italy, American turbo kits cost twice as much, then high taxes to pay for shipping, and then it will be difficult to wait for spare parts, with the turbines that I have found, I have the advantage of using external exhaust valve, so I don't have many problems with internal valve flap, I found these measures, I hope not to have too much lag compared to a single turbo, always on double bearings, Compressor wheel: 9 + 0 blades machined from the solid billetInducer: 51mmExducer: 63mm - Turbine sideHousing: 8cm2 / AR: 0.61Turbine wheel: 10 bladesInducer: 55mmExducer: 49mm, what do you think?
