....just by looking at it????? if so, how?

think i've been done over by CTM in Ilford, anyone had experience with em?

 

the compressor housing is a dead give away

 

T3.


T34


T4


That help ya?

 

Lee notice the square block on the compressor housing? easy give away of a t34.

plus the overall size of course

 

cheers chaps. I've been done over then

 

 

oh shit the second pic looks very familiar indeed

 

Drive down back there and fookin tell em then Lee!! They charged you for a T34??

 

 

Why what does yours look like mate?

Can u get a pic up?

 

I will tonight

 

T3 on the left T34 on the right.

 

someones gonna pay for this.....

my car has took nearly 4 months to rebuilt cos of these cunts at CTM


steer clear.

 

So what they done Lee? Sent you a T3? Is it a new turbo or your old one??

 

at the mo, to me, it looks like a 'bored out' new T3

 

Lee, they have supplied you goods that were not fit for the purpose of which they were purchased. In doing so they breached Section 14 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

Tell them that you are contemplating contacting the local Trading Standards, whatch their arse holes twitch like a pigs eye

 

hope ya get it5 sorted bud

 

a t34 compressor housing has an actuator mounting built into it also doesnt it ?

but on a 2wd manifodl u have to use the bracket

if its a company surely they cant do you like that

 

When i got my new turbo i wanted a t34 and when i got it back it had the same housing as a t3, i questioned it and was told that it was a larger compressor wheel with the t3 housing which had been machined out to take the larger wheel, was told that it would work just like a t34. It was a lot better than the old t3 but i had never driven one with a normal t34 on so wouldn't know the difference. i measured the i/d on the inlet and found it to be about 3-4mm larger. Have i been mugged off too?

 

Can someone answer this as i'm a little concerned?

 

sorry Steve cant help but BTTT for ya

 

could well be but not sure, i know that the t34 ive seen is fooking huge, cant miss em

 

Steve it does sounds dodgy to me mate

 

Steve,can you put a pic up of what you got! it sounds that you may have a Stage3 Hybrid T3 which has a bigger comp wheel and housing machined for it and another parts etc BUT it isn't a T34 if that makes sense 2 u! I hope I'm wrong thou!

 

i'll get pic tomorrow as its a bit dark now

 

as with Steve above, this is what it turns out I have...


CTM said it'll hold 24psi all day long

when run in, Harvey Gibbs will be setting it up, so he can have the final word.

as for being conned, it turned out I never paid T34 money, from CTM, they are another Ł250 on top of what I paid.

 

they still told you that you buying a T34 though didn't they? so b*ll%l to um, take it back and get your money back mate and get a proper one that looks like a T34!

did you try steve scott for one?

 

well, not really. I didnt order it. G Sport (guy doing my car) ordered it.

He said he just assumed a T34 would come as thats what was talked about by CTM, but this hybrid thing has come. I havnt been charged for a T34. The car has been off the road for so long, and no i'm skint, so cant go out a 'buy' a T34 without sorting this one out....I just want it on the road now...

If Harvey says its ok, and it hold boost for stage 3 spec, then it'll do for now

 

Need to see a pic of it really!
Does your standard T3 air filter pipe fit onto the comp housing?

 

i understand mate, as you've had a rough time with this mota so far, but you got a ground out T3 not a T34 in my opinion.

but if it hold the boost, it's up to you anyway mate, come ova to the northants meet when it's done mate.

yea for how long on a genuine stage3 Cossie THAT is the question

think it's the same when T3's on erst are running different staged Hybrids some use the Cossie T3 Comp housing and front and back wheels for the biggest stage before using a big turbo Escos T34 one(with mods to fit)! think 34's are around Ł500-Ł800 mark @ the moment depending where from and what spec you want!

 

yes mate.

 

lee did giles get it running in the end ????

 

Spadge, I had to force my old standard Ford black boost hose over the larger housing on mine loads of Fairy liquid until I could get the proper sized one from Samco(waited a month thou)

 

Sounds like this guys one slid over though Alv without the lube so deffo not a proper T34
It would seem that the T34 can be found in many guises nowadays

 

Yes, mine too but the i/d is slightly larger

 

same here. What spec do you run mate?

 

only just got the turbo, so next day or so

 

if its got a t3 comp housing it aint a T34 nuff said

 

stage 3, greens, 24 psi
