Ok. There was a 50/50 chance you knew what color tapatalk's backgrounds was (black). I couldn't tell if you were being a dick or just didn't know where I was coming from. Sorry.

Yeah man. Tapatalk, my version at least, has a black background. Blue was super hard to read, and then you changed it to black.. haha. I thought you were jackin with me.

Well almost immediatley the F-150 started to misfire and after bringing it back to JR 4 times (he installed a new coil wire each time, blamed the parts saying they couldn't handle the heat ????? ) And it still misfires to this day just not as often since I don't drive the truck as much anymore.
Now the Hummer check engine light comes on and code says misfire ! Hmmm funny ! JR installs his shitty parts (in my opinion) and bam ! Problems !
The Hummer is going to the dealer and will post what they say on Friday. I'm not 100% sure it's Granatelli's fault re: the Hummer, but my bet it is !
Also added all my receipts and spent over $36,000. with that POS !
I need a scarlet letter "D" (for dummy) to wear.
Just curious, with all of the very reputable hi-po shops available & feedback information available.....why did you go there in the 1st place?

I have to ask, if you had turbo installed for one week and they crapped the bed, would you want to have to go in an buy two new turbos or drag your car 1000 miles home... How it I had to pay 3600 dollars for two turbos that JR told me retailed for 1600... and he paid substantially less than that for them... I have a price sheet directly from Precision.

This is my opinion, and like you, I am entitled to it based on the way I was treated...
Speaking of opinions we had talked about turbos a while ago, focusing on turbo size. Our conversation, that also included another member, led me to calling tial about turbos and motor size. I know we don't have the same turbos, but they said with a 427 2 GT35s would have no problems and these turbo are about the same size as your old ones. That and the fact that I've had a 416 for 7,000 miles on the the same turbos that I've had for the last 30,000 miles make me think the granatelli/tti kit might have had an oiling issue or something.
Anyway more to the subject at hand, I'm sorry that you are having those issues with Granatelli. My experience with him was a brief but positive one, but when I went to purchase his turbo kit the salesman I was talking to about the kit could have won an award for being the biggest asshole on earth (Apparently he did me a favor)......so I bought the IPS kit. This was in January 2011.

Two of the biggest GT35s (GT3582R) wouldn't be big enough for his HP target. The GTX3582R would probably not get him there with N20. Running those small of turbos full out for a mile would not be wise.

Wow..Like other's I've read every page of this thread today. It was that intersting. I've only gota V6 myself and don't have the big bucks to mod like some of y'all but I will say that if I did and this BS happened to me I'd be raising hell and doing what I could to make people aware of the situation. Any other business would be shut down for sure. Can't believe there may still be a lot of people being taken by these crooks...

I agree with that but they were implying that somehow sub 1000whp the bigger engine would make the turbos just fail like the turbos weren't being over spun but over accelerated. Wasn't about full tilt it was just about cubic inches. That's where my issue with it was. I'm not sure what his goals are but like with most things in life and cars if something has a stated limit and you frequently push that limit or more it will likely fail.
