Not bad prices at all. I would be worried about them though until they have been around a while. The turbo business seems to be shady at best sometimes, with companies building up, taking peoples money, then closing shop and re opening under another name.

yeah that's what worries me about buying something that might take 3 months to manufacture and ship to me

Exactly, I have just read too many horror stories about people waiting 6 months to a year for turbo kits.

Re: New Turbo Company?

I don't know anything about them. There are alot of pop-up companies out there claiming good stuff...The "cheap" turbos may serve their purpose but I still recommend genuine Garrett stuff. As for kits, they're usually hit-or-miss on fitment, completeness, and delivery-time.

Holset, Garrett, Air Research and Schwitzer have been around for years, All the rest are in most cases cheap knock offs or retrofitted/modified previously mentioned brands.

Hmmm, looks good. But anyone can sell you anything. If I had it to do again...I would hands down by a Hellion Turbo kit. This company was started by John Urist. He prides himself on very low delivery waits. Sometimes as little as two weeks or less.

Re: New Turbo Company?

I agree Brad, I absolutely love to get rid of my blower and get one of his kits. If it wasn't for the fact that I had put so much money in my car over the last 14 months I would sale the blower and get one. Now that I own 2 turbo vehicles it makes owning a blower car that much worse
