Turbos Unleashed Stole/fraud pics

The Turbo on the left is the turbo I send Chris Wright for rebuilding. He told me that the turbine housing needed boring due to the turbine wheel bouncing around, he also said that he would have to bore the compressor side to accommodate the stage 2 wheels.

When i received the turbo I installed it, After running the car in my garage for about 40 minutes everything seemed to be working. After i was convinced that there were no leaks I decided to go for a drive. As soon as I backed up it started to smoke.

I called Chris he said it was probably oil form my last turbo. He told me to drive it to clear out the oil from the exhaust. when the smoke did not clear I called Chris again he immediately started blaming the engine, cylinder head and PCV I disconnected the PCV and my intercooler was still full of oil after only a five mile ride.

I cleaned the intercooler after every drive and every time it would fill with oil. Once I realized that he would not honor the warrantee I started looking closer. I discovered that he did not rebuild my turbo but switched it for one he had on the shelf. I called him about this and asked him to return my turbo but he insisted that it is the turbo I send him and he refused to return my turbo.

In my 30 years in the automotive service industry I've never seen anything like this. I've had many parts rebuild over the years and the same part always come back (the same casting). You just can't tell someone that you're going to rebuild their part and then give them a different one without their knowledge.

Chris Wright At Turbos Unleashed Claims that these 2 Turbo's are the same (same casting). You be the judge?.

This is the Turbo i send you notice the number 3
look at the T and the barely visible A/R 63 then look at the other one, you can see the T and the A/R 63 are raised with a star behind the T. Chris Wright at Turbos Unleashed says that the letters are raised because he cleaned and painted it. The way I know it, paint usually cover stuff not create a whole new font. What kind of person lies like this? And this is a guy i've done business with for years; the turbo in question is a turbo I bought from him.

This is the oil in my intercooler after 5 Miles. The only way oil can get in the intercooler with the PCV not attached is through the turbo.
