The NEW: revo RT330 turbo kit is here!

I am fine with letting it play out. He was the one that came in here three weeks after the fact and called my shit out . If thats not trolling Then you a trollmeister are giving him broad leeway.


P.S. don’t talk down to me either. I have been in the automotive world for years, as a consumer and a retailer.


So he got fucked I am truely sorry and empathize for him. It still does not give him a right to basically deride me becuase I was applying a little levity to the thread.

He has more of a right than most of us in this particular thread. He is not trolling....settle down there guy....just let it play itself out and learn something!

+10000 I admit I trolled a bit.

But this dude has every right to be mad and to troll. He has money in this and the last big forum debacle.

Trolling? You have no reference or either situation, yet you comment on this one like you have any knowledge. That seems more like trolling to me. If you were actually in the discussion group, you would know Ron told every owner three weeks ago that he was going to pay out-of-pocket to convert these turbos to the S280 spec, regardless of what Revo and turbo technics did, which is the only viable solution, then backtracked on it Thursday, instead saying instead ‘let’s wait some more and see if there’s an easier option, like a cover swap’. Even though turbo technics has already old him the rt330 uses a custom backing plate, and that neither the s242, s270 or s280 covers are a viable swap. a new cover would have to be designed, castings made, manufactured, tested, and shipped. At a cost of thousands of dollars and months of time. All of this after Adam lent his help to diagnosing the issues for Ron back in early December, and came back with this.

‘If I build a product, and I put it on a car and during R&D it did this, it would have been back to the drawing board. This is a defective product, and needs to be returned to Revo.’

The problem wth Revo is between Revo and Ron. Not one single member of this forum would have accepted Russ saying ‘well sourskittle/robs auto say the c39 is fine, so nothing I can do about it.’
We were sold a product with a one year warranty against failures and defects, and now it’s not being honored.

Does anybody have a specific date as to when Revo in the UK became aware of the findings of the independent turbo company in the USA that inspected the new turbo from Revo?

A new video has been put up from the UK as well where I believe the surge noise can he heard all throughout the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Jnj3h8zIw

On my way to work this morning I made a short video to record the surging sound on a WOT on my car that has got the RT330 kit installed
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qahIZgD5OTY

Apologies for the video and sound quality, but I am sure the surge noise can be heard.

The video shows 4 pulls in 3rd gear from 3000RPM on a WOT and the noise is consistently there. The same noise can be heard in other gears but I tried to keep the video as short as possible.

Gustav, this is using the Revo flash tune?

You have misunderstood what I was saying in the group
I never once said the S280 conversion was off the table. revo and TT and working together now rather than me directly through TT so there may be a quicker and better solution than the S280 swap. The S280 swap was an idea TT and I were working out when revo was not responding at all.

Maybe a new thread for comparisons of this situation vs DHM and C39's would better because I'm not going to keep going over the same things. We are a dealer for revo and the warranty is being handled through revo and turbo technics. I'm truly sorry it's not happening fast enough.

All the fighting and nonsense just make matters worse. Aside from this turbo being "defective" which there isn't a damn person alive yet that can convince revo or the actual turbo builder that there is a defect, what exactly have I done to you that wouldn't at least earn a chance to get this right with the company that made the product?
I truly respect that you may feel things should be handled a certain way or your way but the process that's happening with this situation is unique for many reasons and handling warranty through the manufacturer is common and our policy.

Again, If we can't stop arguing about this topic and just concentrate on the progress and solution the thread dies and you can start a thread somewhere else
I'm doing my best with a sticky situation and have always done so by you as well Anthony.

It’s been a week since we were supposed to ‘give it a few days and see what Revo/turbo technics come up with’ for a solution to this, any updates Ron?
