Angry Bad Trade on Turbo

I posted a while ago that I was selling a TE-60 turbo From Limit engineering,I purchased it brand new & it did not have even 300 miles on it,I got a private Email from A local WNY Buick member that was interested on my turbo,He offered me a trade his TE-44 & $250 for my Turbo(Since I did not want to change stall convertor & I still wanted to drive my car on street)I accepeted,He told me he bought the TE-44 New from Limit engineering & that it had less than 3thousand miles on it.So I traded got the money,& did not put turbo on right away,I installed the turbo & noticed it was leaking oil a lot right were the turbo shield goes,It was leaking so bad I pulled it out the same day,I sent the turbo to limit engineering& got some horrible news,The turbo was not from them but from PTE & it was built in 1996,also the turbine wheel was junk the thrust bearings shot basically the turbo was a piece on junk!So I giving fair warning Im not going to mention any names yet,I gave you a NEW turbo from John Craig It is all documented I was honest,In return I basically got a core!We have to talk seriously As Im not a name dropper,the turbo is a Limit right now,We need to square up
