i thought this thread was to talk about the parts and what they are capable of. not what ppl THINK ABOUT THE PARTS NO ONE CARES.

Let me rephrase- you're discrediting yourself and me (by association) by stepping down to the shitposting level.

Good looking out, but there is no sensitive information there just how much I paid for the turbos, when, and the name of my bank. All totally useless information.

Question: how the f did that vrsf silicone collapse like that? is that an oem placement inlet or relocated elbow? how do i keep that from happening to me?!

And ayo headcase, pretty sure reviewing account stats on a public forum and trying to draw any type of conclusion from that makes you a low iq loser with too much time on your hands. Maybe you need a new hobby other than shitposting and antagonizing others into derailing a thread. run along now chillrens im sick of sifting thru your bullshit finna give up on this whole forum its horse shit, impossible to get to the bottom of anything but all a yall psych issues and limited education. and if u say something else about nutswinging im just gonna assume yur gay and have a one track mind cuz i aint swingin for daw im swingin for ya jaw

quit with the shit

University educated, engineer. I've actually made my own stage 1 turbos, and installed them myself, with wastegates I made from scratch. So, that is one of my hobbies, it just happens that I post here, and sometimes, people don't like what they hear, but hey, that's what public forums are all about.

I'm not sure why you would threaten violence against me for pointing out the history of shady vendors and turbos on this platform. Hopefully, you get the chance to "im swingin for ya jaw" Another one of my hobbies is dealing with that.

usless? try telling that to data miners.

sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire my man. dont be so concerned with image. means to an end. what you are doing (being nice about it) isnt working. and maybe we were brought up different but i certainly dont act like a door mat when someone steps to. i didnt start it but ill sure see it through

Listen, every password and credit card number you have is for sale at the moment and it's only a matter of time/luck. A screenshot of a receipt is not what's going to get my identity stolen

Having said that, I don't care how you were raised, talking shit on the internet is not tough & nobody is "stepping to" anybody.

But at the moment you are the one sidetracking this thread worse than anyone. just like I said to everyone else- unless you have something productive to say, just dont post.

[RJC612]

wow i dont even want to unpack that so im just gonna say yes daaaaad

Lmao there is NO data to be taken from his paypal transaction screenshot. What are you on about

[dsource]

This is yet again a pointless thread, shitposting, post logs, REAL REVIEWS WITH SCREENSHOTS IF NEEDED, pictures or GTFO. nobody cares about your pure turbos. The group is attempting to determine if these turbos are good or bad. My experiance so far with 2K miles is positive.

So, who are the four people selling fake DAW turbos? That should definitely be brought to light, to protect not only consumers, but also DAW. I'm guessing Nick Olsen is one of them?

If all that is true Knerr, it sure paints a different picture.

[eyelobes]

I dunno, mine shipped straight from DAW in Michigan. I ordered through Nick and they drop shipped from DAW. Confirmed order with Shawn the day after I ordered them.

I am not entirely sure- I didn't pry too much. But I would advise anybody considering buying DA turbos to ONLY buy directly from the source & to talk to Shawn.

Glad to hear that. What turbos did you buy specifically?

...which coincidentally also happens to be the side that is mostly ignorant, misinformed, and completely uneducated on even the most basic N54 quirks, foibles, and inner-workings.

Throw new/unknown turbos into the mix, some of which are being installed to cure oil smoke/burning issues where turbos aren't even the root cause of the problem and you get an absolute dumpster fire of a thread each and every time one gets posted.

I fixed my car. Had to rewire the whole motor. Did ignition harness first, it cleared a few hard codes. Then did the junction block harness under the intake manifold, that cleared a few more hard faults. But then the last piece of the puzzle wound up being my tranny harness which was also swiss cheesed. It interfaced with the other two harnesses and caused throttle codes on one harness and cam sensor fault codes on the other harness. Was some weird shit and took forever and a lot of guess work to figure out. I am so happy that nightmare is over. Everything seems to be mint now. Like the motor never even fell

Anyways, my stage 3 daw set seems great so far. They def sound dope. Zero rattle from the wgs even at startup. My exhaust fumes are nearly invisible, no clouds of smoke to speak of. But i do have dual external pcv with 2 occ and head ports blocked off. Took car for a quick rip on the basemap and it feels great, v quick. I will take logs tomorrow, car wasnt fully put back together tonight so I couldnt go on a real drive. Coming soon

[eyelobes]

Just got all of my suspension bits off today. The stupid v-brace underneath has 3 bolts that just spin because the nuts inside the the subframe are just spinning, whatever tab was keeping them in place isn't working anymore. I would just drop the whole subframe but that damn brace is blocking one of the subframe bolts.

honestly not that bad at all and am having a blast. can't wait to get these bolted up. RCJ, what tuner did you go with?

[RJC612]

David Shoup. He has been great

Great fuck that sounds insanely miserable. harness issues are a nightmare for sure. Keep us updated on those stage 3s

She ripppppps!

this is a base map. fuel system is stock also and not keeping up on the low pressure side. not sure why I had throttle closure tho. 3rd gear, traction off, 100% throttle 2500 to 4500 rpm or there abouts. just testing everything is working.
