Any thoughts boys

Post by slaphead »

Spotted this on Fleabay - seems a tad cheap - or a least a cheap way of blowing up an RB :roll:

Hmm cheap ebay turbo.

beware of cheap turbos that wont last and wafer thin exhaust manifolds that dont last. We have seen em all. This kit may be nice but beware. You get what you pay for

If i were you i would get a good t4 manifold and talk to AET turbos about your requirements.

These are the same company as xspower who get cheap turbos that blow up according to Driftworks when I spoke to them.

Just ask Paul Applin what you pay for a 'proper' T88......I think you would be horrified. Give it a very wide berth Mark.

I am importing a P trim for the Skyline and handing it over to the guys at Driftworks to test. Let you know how they get on.
