sorry to hear that Katt.
there is always a lesson to learn everytime..i wish you learn yours what ever that was and dont do the same mistake again.
i know Eric is a gentleman and it would be nice to give you a refund and get your engine.
setting you free to choose whatever other product you like.
he can repair to contition "new" the engine and resell it as secont hand easy faster from his place or even keep it.
and this is the right way to do since you dont have a good comniunication cose when you own a turbine you need many times the manufactor in the future!
take care and dont let this keep you down..its just a hobbie.... but also your money!
p.s. i want a 1200usd engine too
