Well, you also must think that most people that go with a Turbo setup arent as budget minded as us NA or most nitrous guys are..

Are you talking about needing a pre-order for this or what?

I really like the "building" part of the project, working towards a goal. Once the project and goals are completed I always feel like I want to start something different, even if my current car kicks ***.

Its an addiction I guess.

I'm not sure yet though we are only talking about upgraded ball bearing turbos..........not complete turbo systems............does that makes sense to you?

I'm honestly surprised I'm the first guy to ask this but how the hell are we suppose to trust these turbos when the first round of turbos gave up the ghost prematurely? Some of them failed on the first startup!

My bad, I didn't notice what you quoted. Let us know what they say when you get ahold of them.

The option for a Garrett BB turbo and price sound legit as hell, I would definitely pick a pair up but my question still stands....
