I started a thread yesterday about my a/f dipping into 10r lower thought it was a boost leak while my car was at PRUVEN . Anyway John performed a boost leak test and the fmic was leaking big time .CAlled up BUSCHUR and NIck said he'd take care of it . THE only thing was that i have to pay for a new fmic have it shipped to me then return the inoperable one for them to evaluate then reimburse me ..
what do yall think?

 

sounds reasonable. they're straight shooters and will refund you in full if the cause was a result of materials or workmanship (bad weld or bad core).

 

i would do it depending upon if you need it right now better than not getting one at all

 

i know ive read it every where here they are pretty good even the guys at PRUVEN told me but im a worry wart so ....

just hope they do the right thing

its just i didnt evn drive the car for a day i mean they installed the parts dyno the car it pulled 380 whp then hit the road for further tuning and the thing goes.. it suck the car was pulling so nice

 

I doubt Buschur would have the reputation they do, if they were not all about customer service. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

Wow my ebay FMIC doesn't even leak! I would be pissed if I spent $600+ for a FMIC and have one of the welds be all crappy. =)

 

buddy it wasnt the welds it was the core the bar &plate are seperating i thing they just got a bad core to work with .it happens just sucks that it happened to me..

you know what i would be pissed for?

being in my evo in a hot summer day with no a/c to make 350whp&322ft-lbs..

where do u live Alaska?

 

Well then that just sucks then, that is not Buschur's fault (since they use Garrett cores). Sounds like they handled the situation very professionally, and you were a victim of chance..

I dont think you have anything to worry about.

 

Sounds fair to me. If manufacturers/vendors just sent out replacement parts without first inspecting them before fixing or replacing the part (if it is a manufacturing defect) they'd go broke.

 

I don't have any Buschur stuff, but they would not be one of the most highly recommended tuners if their customer service was up shyte creek.
They are just covering their own a$$es at the end of the day.

You'll be fine. Buy a new one, send the old one back and everything else will
sort itself out.

 

should have been pressure tested before it even left the door- i certainly hope your not paying for shipping back to them!

 

I want to pressure test my new I/C before Install it. How much pressure should I put to it?

 

40 psi at least

 

hmmm...they should at least waived the shipping for the new fmic!(if it's proven that its a factory deffect)
