Thumbs down Greddy turbo's

Well for all of you that have been thinking about buying a HKS, Greddy or Apexi turbo beware!!

Last night on my way back from Winterpark Ski resort, my friends TD06-SH 20G blew a positive seal with 4K on it. Today we took it to TEC (Turbo Engineering Corp) here in golden colorado, they are one of the biggest turbo rebuilders in the country with tie's with Mitsu Japan.

What we really found out is that all HKS,Greddy or Apexi turbo can't be fixed! The center sections of the turbo are for sale to greddy only! You can't even by the same compressor or turbin wheels for a diffrent housing, So back to T3\T4 Garrett or Turbonetics.

So all in all if you are going to dish out $1600 for a turbo and downpipe, Don't be pissed when it turns into a coffie table center peace.

Forced performance can't fix it

I'll ask him?

You should have come down to San Antonio last weekend for some Pepe Loco VS Ron Lummus action!
