SignUp Now!I am interested in seeing what I can get. My CPT66 turbo went the way of the Dodo... I called Cotton and got the run-around then E-mailed him personally a month ago and he never responded... stand up service... Anyways, anyone have something?
What is CPT?
Ok, heres the deal on the turbo. I will call the Gery guy and try again to get something figured out. The thing is I spent quite a bit on this turbo once at Cottons and do not want to do so again. I am hoping for a used turbo, not a new one. The run around was the fact that the guy was not interested in helping me figure out how to re-build it all he wanted was a new sale and to go bigger....

Hi Jack, I purchased a car that had a CPT-66 turbo on it from a customer of yours. I need it to be rebuilt and do not want to have to buy a whole new turbo. I loved the turbo and it looked great! It seems to need all new internals. I have worked on these cars for years and just have never had a turbonetics. I called them to buy a complete kit minus the housings and they don't seem to be willing to work with me. Can you do anything?
Justin,
Not sure what this is for, nor how you come up with the run around statement. We don't rebuild turbos, they go back to T-netics, what's the run around? What did you want me to do?... If you did not want to rebuild, what's the options, find a used one or buy a new one, I didn't have a used one, I have new ones on the shelf.... if you wanted one, we had it. If you want to find a used one why are you slamming me here?>
By the way, I found your email, do I need to post it here? In it you said you bought a car with a 66 turbo.... so what is it, you bought the turbo recently or it was a 6 year old turbo? heck, easier to just cut and paste your email..
As for the housings, the turbo was so old, it had wheels that are no longer available, hence the housings could not be used unless you used bigger wheels allowing the housings to be machined.. get it? If you call GM for a 3.8l turbo motor, are they not working with you because they don't make the motor anymore?
Thank you Miquel for your explanation for Bison
Justin I also have a use CPT66 ball bearing for $800 shipped
That is probably what will happen. I think I'll give another shop a call...It Looks like this is a option at this point, however I would consider going the route of a Precision turbo out of personal preference IMHO.
Good luck and let us know how it works out. :wink:
First off, I was not slamming you Jack. Grow up. I have seen how you have been called out and how it ends up. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN PLAYING YOUR GAMES. I spent money on this turbo with you the first time it was sent out for a rebuild! I payed for it but it was under the previous owners name. WHO CARES ABOUT THAT! You are really making a bad name for yourself as of late and as I said I wanted no part of it. Thus the reason I never called Gerry about it. I don't want the drama. But, here we go with the drama once again... Thanks for that. I explained the run-around. I didn't feel it was needed to go into detail about it but now that you FINALLY are reading the Email that was sent, I asked about a used one that was listed on the site and the guy on the phone said all he had was new... A big difference in price tags. Not everyone has that cash right now but when I asked him about it he had no idea why the site said you had a used one. Again, I was not looking for the drama but thanks.
Oh, before you get to it after I was told it was going to be quite a bit of money I asked the guy about the used one. Again, this is about getting a turbo not slamming Jack Cotton. I just need a turbo.
