a word about ZAGE TURBO ethics...

When MARK found out that all of the turbos were failing, he did NOTHING. Perfect example, I had some subaru turbo failures because they didn't have all of their parts. I tell mark, and his solution? If they make 100 turbos, they will get 100 sets of parts together, and if they have parts left over, then they know they have a problem! Not "we'll test them better," or "we will introduce a new quality control officer to address this problem." "Oh well, we'll do better!"

Another big problem was the compressor wheel. It exploded all the time, so they stopped using them for a while. Or so I was told. Instead, they just kept shipping the subaru turbos with the bad wheels, and told the dealers that they were not. Result? People got turbos that lasted ten minutes before they exploded.

Did ZAGE ever fix the problem? No one knows, becuase we were told "we fixed the problem," and the turbos kept failing.
