looking for someone with experience why not PM ion or blackjack since they are the only ones on here with turbos.
Why not check the BBB also.

I doubt anyone on here has dealt with that seller, and there's a reason for that. If you're going to buy something as big as a turbo get a well known brand (Greddy, Turbonetics, HKS, etc.). It's better to put a few grand in and get good results than to spend a little less for junk.

everything on that site looks like shit. If you want to turbo ur car do it right save the money for it. 300 bucks for a turbo is way to cheap. It will blow in no time. If the turbo blows it can send shards of the compresser wheel into the engine which is not good.

get an old Volvo turbo
PM Spilner521 and see if he'll take his stuff off for you. he has basically the same turbo I used to have, and his car hasn't moved since he bought the Evo

Ssac makes turbo kits for hondas and the manifolds are famous for cracking. The turbos themselves are kind of a hit and miss some people do great with them others only get about 6k out of them. The main issue is oil leaks.

Greddy turbos are garbage... Get a garrett or get an ebay turbo and have it rebuilt with garrett internals |

M'kay, I've never had any desire to turbo my car so I haven't researched which brands are best, that's just a name I remember seeing a lot.

The precision was a 6262 which was on a 3rd gen supra my buddy had but I drove it while he was in basic training
And garretts were nice before they moved from japan to china now they are the same as ebay turbos
