CBRD new BBKB results
i do understand that the compressor housing was chromed out i also understand it had to be taken off i understand there was chroming inside the compressor bla bla bla i get all that i put it on lol all im saying is i just dont understand what that has to do with it the bushings for the turbine shaft or bearings whatever u wanna call it seemd just as tight as when i put it in so i dont see it being lube its like it just bent like it was out of balance i am not saying cbrd sucks im not saying that at all because u proved that lots of people have good luck with the stuff it was more just a curiosity thing is all if the bearings arnt loose and the shaft is bent how does it happen it is quite interesting if u ask me but like i said just a garage rat what do i know 
I like when people spam their own post with tons of BS hoping that any person that clicks on it doesn't look at what happened and only reads the bashing.
This is what has happened. I know people personally, and also have read about tons of people on the forums who have had zero issues with their turbos, and I have talked to people who have also received great customer care when it does in fact turn out to be a flaw in the turbo. However, in this case, who knows what could have happened with the turbo with all it had been through.
It's like owning a civic si/350z/evo, taking it to the dealer to get covered for "rod knock" on a stock motor, and when they open it up, they find aftermarket rods/pistons. Ummm..... you're going to be SOL.

- OP buys a CBRD BBK-B from runthat who is building a show/race car at Akuma. That entire car had parts that he had chromed/coated and so that's why the compressor cover is chromed, and why the turbine side is coated.
- Who knows who removed/reinstalled the turbo, if they did it correctly, if they bent anything in the process, etc. And then it was shipped.
We're not talking about an intercooler get coated, a turbo has tolerance, etc. Too tight, or too loose, you'll get some nice scraping.
Remember the Turbine housing was also coated. - OP purchases the turbo and from the looks of it did not receive any paperwork with the turbo at all. Install instructions, warranty info, etc.
- OP installs turbo, without the instructions, we don't know what process he followed priming, and he used the wrong kind of oil with it from the get go.
- Turbo now has issues, and CBRD will not warranty it because it's touched more than one hand, the comp has been removed, coated, installed, shipped, reinstalled, wrong oil, etc.
- When CBRD received the turbo, they opened it up and it looks like the turbo was "cleaned" since there was overspray and/or chrome found inside and they tried to remove it. That'll contribute to any issues it may have since you don't know how they went about removing the material and how much was in fact taken off in the process.
- OP is now pissed and he and his friend that can't type full sentences are putting CBRD/Blouch down for not wanting to cover a turbo that's been taken apart several times, shipped and has no paperwork.

If you think I'm posting BS about tolerances, etc. Check out this video on how the turbos are actually made.

not to b an jack a** but u offered a 100 bucks off dont u think that is kind of a slap in the face ? and i could understand what your saying about the chrome in the housing but the shaft spun perfect and didnt hit the housing when it was put on are you trying to say that is magically hit a piece of chrome in the housing and bent if u look at his turbo there is no bent fins there is no dents no nothing like i said i really just want to cut it open and see what "really" caused it no offense but not someones "opinion" this garage rat is over and out 
I dont think thats unfair
anyway-
I'm not going to continue to respond to this when the topic has been thoroughly covered-
Our warranty is original owner AND to warranty the BBKB you have to have the warranty sheet that comes with it with the production number on it.
Sorry-
that is all.

Correct- thank you.
Thats bull mate... mine too failed. Reason was boost leak...given by blouch... what a joke. They did not see the car to come to that conclusion. Lets see how long my next turbo will last.
And bending a shaft when removing and replacing a housing...ag please.... I swapped housings on my gt35r and never had a issue....
Funny how a shaft that spins at 90 000-100 000 rpm bend so easy.
Why does the shaft on the BBK bend so easy but not on the FP?
Does this mean that the FP is better quality?
Never ever a blouch turbo or any other product for me, no thanks... once bitten twice shy.

The turbo in question saw many hands, and had over spray in the comp, attempts to clean it are also evident, so who knows how it was handled, and if it was uninstalled/reinstalled correctly, etc. The OP also did not have the correct oil and doesn't even have the turbo paperwork.
This is not a CBRD/Blouch vs FP argument so lets not even jump into those waters. No place here.
Ask the OP why the shaft was bent? Were you there with him? Were you there with the people that un-installed and re-installed the turbo and when when it got coated, etc? Was he there? Anything could have happened through that entire process BEFORE it even got to the OP.
I own an iPhone and if I drop it and bring it to Apple to have it covered under warranty, they are going to laugh. This is the same kind of situation! The OP doesn't even have the paperwork! And did not even use the correct oil.
I don't know what the argument here is. Give the OP a free turbo replacement just for fun?
-Jalal
O Ok sorry, I was sent a link and did not see the thread before... I will have to start another thread... like I said I was sent a link and thought it was the relevant subject.
I also had a BBK fail... and also had no warranty... my bbk was 100% original... no mods.... but yea its for a nother thread... dont want to upset the moderator or break the rules!

I don't know your situation, I'm speaking on this one. Start a thread and speak about it.

Lol accsa back again...
Bbk in a bbkb turbo thread
With over 600 turbos out there I would expect to have a few issues.
Even if we had a 2% failure rate you do the math.
Regardless.... No matter what happens it is apparently always the vendors fault when a product fails
Do we post everytime we replace other companies failed turbos?
Cheers

I believe this is the wrong thread for all this BS, their are many other places on this site for vendor reviews.
In for more results.
+1 For Chadd. Let's get this thing back on topic.

I never ever said it was the vendor/CBRD fault, NEVER! Like I said above I was linked.

When I say the turbo in question was un-installed & re-installed, i meant taken apart and put back together.
It was taken apart to get coated on both ends and then put back together. It's also noted that whoever did this also tried to clean out the turbo of any over spray, etc.
Just wanted to clarify what I meant.

Umm yea sooo back to the BBK-B and all of its "majesty" . Some say that if left on the shelf too long it will develop boost spikes in a non-atmospheric vacuum of space, and that its turbo efficiency graph reassembles the plotted equation the the speed of light... All we know is that its called the BBK-B
