Do you know if "kentucky Turbos" also do in-house rebuilds or do they just sell them?

I have bought 3 turbos from Jose(Forcedinductions), and bug him till no end changing my mind back and forth. He has always done good by me. Bought my PT88 from another reputble dealer and waited 2.5 months due to a back orderd exh housing. Sometimes that **** just happens not always the dealers fault.

The prices have been updated. Also yes sometimes the wait times will vary depending on when the manufactures get us the castings, then they run through our CNC's. A lot of units go to other companies so the CNC's take time to run tons of housings. But they always get done

I called in and bought a GT88 budget turbo from them after being offered no options. I didn't really ask either..... Later sold it as it weighed nearly 50lbs.

Then called back in for some other parts and left 4 messages. NEVER got a return phone call.

They aren't in my "quality" book.
