Damn I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them I hope it doesnt come in all messed up.

dont sweat it! ive ordered a ton of stuff from DM and its always come through in good usable condition.... i actually knew before i received my turbo that the wastegate had a ding in it, it had arrived at DM that way if i remember correctly and i was in need/hurry to get a turbo and it wouldnt affect the usability so i said send it.

my ct26 57 trim from DM has almost the exact same dent in the WG as well...its a conspiracy i say!!!

Hmmm, I see. Maybe people ding it when pulling the turbo/engine. And I cant see it effecting anything. Maybe Maybe..wg cracking pressure is acheived nano seconds quicker haha.

Fragile' isnt that french for please kick the shit outta me??? lol

If your not comfortable dropping the package from waist or shoulder height onto concrete, its not packed well enough.

That the mentality to go by when shipping right there. You can't go wrong.

Well they can't really throw a 125 lb tranny around lol

Yep, that's a hard one to throw, however very easy to drop


"Performance techniques" shipped my turbo a box within a box surrounded by packing peanuts, I saw U.P.S. lobbed my turbo in his truck, He didn't set in in the truck, he tossed it like a wad of paper in a garbage can.

I've never had any problems with stuff that came in via UPS, either DM, HPF, MVP, & whoever I don't drive to in order to pick up my stuff...

I have had problems with USPS abusing an occasional package or two, but it wasn't like the guy that dropped off the box could've been a luchador. I think.

LMAO, and that's why I try to pack the shit out of stuff i ship. I think I need to try the "drop from the shoulder" test before I send it out to be on the safe side.

HEY, I found a pic on my phone of my WG dent haha. I think mine is a little bigger than yours. WG cracks even a few more nano seconds quicker;) lol.

EDIT: Just looked at the pic, I'm a Coke man, not pepsi:3d_frown:
