We are making steps to try to keep the units at the price they are at. Garrett has raised the price of the core castings. We will evaluate the pricing next week and see what steps are needed to try to keep this a budget piece. Right now I don't think anyone figured these units to be as popular as they became. Also the S91 is taking off again....we are trying to keep it priced low as well.

That's nice to hear about the S91. I noticed the S, ST, and SX series were changed around on your site. I don't know if they're just called something different now though?

I have an S95 that down the road I would be interested in a divided AR turbine housing. Are you able to get something like that?

Just look through all the posts about forced inductions over the years. They have the worst track record when it comes to speed. But seem to have the best when it comes to quality.

My gt91 should be here in a week or so

Speed is directly effected by the manufactures castings. Also since we machine the turbos for alot of the other dealers some of you folks purchase from we have alot of units coming through here weekly . Lots of GT91's shipping this week again and also a load of S91's as well.

BW has changed alot of the naming system since they came out with all the SX series units.
