I hate to break it to you but his ideas are not BS. I also hate to say but anytime someone questions or criticizes a product because it's made offshore it immediately becomes a political thread. There is no way around it.

i suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.

you are right that this is not a political forum, but you cannot discuss global trade without politics.

please note at no point did I call your argument "BS" or infer that you knew any less about the situation by indicating you needed to be taught "basic economics"

We have two different points of view and I thought we were discussing in a civil manner.

Civil discourse is at the heart of American way of life.

Default BW turbos....China?

Been happy with my BW S476, made 842 rwhp at 14 psi and has never given me an issue. I really don't care where it's made as long as it performs, which it has.

Sorry for the delay, busy weekend.

I honestly didn't mean to cause a political war or any war for that matter. I guess I should have been more detailed in my initial post. The root of my question was would I be getting 2x+ the turbo for 2x+ the price, if they really were manufactured overseas. Looks like they are very good turbos at a very affordable price...and I need to stop with the questioning...ha!

Throughout my work history, I have experienced a few outsourcing projects so I am a little familiar with the pros/cons.

Thanks for the response everyone. These BW turbos look like they will do everything I want them to do, just need to figure out how to shoehorn them into my engine bay lol.
