Do i name and shame?

Just purchased a Evo 8 MR turbo and a evo 8 spoiler from a user on here with good feedback. After a few long weeks he finally sent out the spoiler and turbo as requested. He said both items were packaged as one so i was expecting a huge parcel.

Parcel arrived today after approx 2 weeks. Bit of a shock to be honest as all i received was the turbo in a small box which had no marks to indicate that it had been part of anything else. Futher more the paper work says one item which is described as "turbo"

Now i am awaiting a reply from the user in questions but he did say they where sent as a combined package but now i'm starting to smell crap.

Futher more.

Everybody who knows their turbos should know a Evo 8 MR turbo has the 10.5 hotside and a single flapper to handle higher boost. This one has 2 flappers which tells me its been reverted back to a gsr. So i have been stiched on this as it means **** to me. His selling description says nothing different other than a Evo 8 MR turbo.

I have given this bloke just under $1000 and i'm started to get pissed off.

I have never stiched or tried to stich up anybody in the past and i wouldn't now. I have also purchased many items from members on here and had them shipped to the uk hassel free. But this takes the ****.

Any thoughts on what i can do? If i was in the same country i would already be on his doorstep.

Only 2005 Evo's come with the 10.5 Hotside. If he has a 03-04 his turbo is a 9.8. Also I believe they run the same boost!

Sorry to hear that. I got rolled by a guy posting a "20G LT TME" turbo, with a link to a standard 20g TME turbo (not LT!). I paid a lot of money, and got screwed on it. I asked to return it, even give a little cash on the deal for his troubles. Got s**t on.

Lame for both of us.

+1 and i also think the single "flapper" is a upgraded design for the 05+ evos

Last time I check, the Evo 8 MR only come in '05. So yeah, it's should be single flapper. Hope the best to the OP.
