You say the pulley is not good, EAS is telling the pulley is not good etc.
Still the seller tells me ''the pulley is completely fine its been on my car for 5k miles without problems''.

I can obviously tell that pulley is far from straight and fell on the ground at least once. I am definitely not going to use a damaged pulley.

Bought my 625 kit used here and got it shipped overseas also. No issues at all. I replaced the intake filter and flushed the blower oil. I received 3 different size pulleys but went with the one that was the closest to the one supplied by ESS. Haven't had a single issue with the kit and continues to run strong. I also bought a water repellent breathable cover for the air filter from K&N just to be safe. Hope you get the missing pieces soon.

He shipped the stuff and paid me some money back for a new pulley (not the amount that i asked for). He did not sent me money for a new filter but ok, thats just a small amount so no problem there. I hope to receive the parts tomorrow or saturday.

I do not want too know what happens when the belt slips of when driving around....






Intercooler also has a lot of dents, but i guess this is no problem and will not affect cooling?



How on earth did that pulley get banged up like that?

That pulley needs to be replaced. Hopefully you get the remaining missing parts. If not you can send us a list and we can sell you whatever is missing.

I always tell people that ask about buying used kits the same thing, sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you don't. You always assume some risk when buying used.

Yes I was at Spring Event 2014 with it and beat a Lambo Mucielago on the drag race. Also video from the Nordschleife

I really have no idea. Funny thing was that the seller first told me ''the pulley is completely fine''...even after seeing these pics lol.

As soon as i receive the last parts (i guess next week) i will sent you a PM or mail to order the remaining parts like pulley, filter, oil, ECU and DCT tune etc. Thanks.

Buying used parts is always part of the gamble of a lower price. Ideally you want a used kit thats been inspected by a competent shop, like EAS/IND/ACM/VAC/MRF etc.

When buying from an "individual", you want to look at their history of transactions and treatment of the parts up until the moment they decided to sell. You should have told him to throw in the "custom" ice tank reservoir too for your troubles.

Just wanted to say that i received the bracket for air filter, injectors and hose today.

However i did not receive any bolts for the bracket, i received blue injectors (if i am not mistaken this are injectors for the 650 kit?) and i received a large RED hose while all the other hoses are fully black.

Bracket bolts can be purchased from us. We do not ship the kit with any red hoses so that was most likely something the original owner added or changed.

Owner told me: ''It bolts into the factory location via a metal bracket that comes on your car. Take the metal bracket off your car and bolt it to the plastic shroud.''

I will sent you a email this week with all the parts and tunes i need Roman.

Its a shame powerhaus performance isnt capable of sending out a complete functional kit. Im sorry you have to go through so much trouble just to buy a used kit. Makes me wonder why they went from "best car ever" and " we'll be hitting the track again asap" to "cars for sale, we're bored of it" in a matter of days. I would NOT go above (below) any retail available pulley sizes.

The kits perform great at production level boost and tuning. Going crazy with boost and tuning can make the car go fast, but there is a reason some tuners and shops dont stay in the game very long or have a good reputation.

Incomplete kit being sent off is probably just the tip of the iceberg..

Still incomplete? This is horrible. It is pretty clear M33too/Powerhaus Performance is negligent in the handling of his used parts sales.

Looks like the pulley was installed by the previous owner, with a hammer in all the wrong places...

Would think that the pulley damage is from shipping, there is no way anyone could've used that for any extended amount of time.
