Turbo Works turbos

[yammi4ever]

I have just noticed a couple threads around about this kit. Is it a good one? Seems the price is $1000 to $2000 cheaper than some of the other kits and claimed to be bolt on, no cutting (this appeals to me greatly). Has this kit been turn-key reliable, what about support.

I wouldn't want to find out this is an other case of you get what you pay for.

Thanks for any replies

One thing to remember about this kit is that in order to make room for the turbo they take the stock tank , cut it apart, recess it to make room for the turbo then plastic weld it back together.You end up with less gas then before. And if I buy another tank for 300 I think I'll have trouble cutting and welding on it. Other then that, it sounds alright.

I was told it works good for low boost.

TTabs on here just picked one up last weekend. He had 50ish miles before this weekend. After speaking with him briefly...the 2 stand out complaints so far are:
1) Coolant line splices suck arse and leaked within a couple of miles. Had to spend 6 hours driving/buying parts/fixing/driving back to the trail.
2) Exhaust is held on with automotive style exhaust clamps that vibrated loose after a few more miles.

He was going to put quite a few more miles on it this weekend and I'm sure he'd give you his full report when he sees this.

Best of luck.
