Gotta love it.

The product of quality versus quantity. In the end all you get is hassle and a nice paper weight. I'm all about trying to save money anytime I get a chance, but there's just somethings you just cannot skimp on.

The kit isn't even cheap - $7000 for the whole thing.....ouch.

All told I spent about 9-10K on mine; but I have a Garrett Turbo AND a Mitsu Turbo... LOL; gauges, ems, piping, powdercoating, intercooler all that stuff is high quality name brand.

Should change the thread title.

Bad for your car's health, not necessarily yours.

Damn I didn't realize that kits crazy expensive. I kinda just glance at the thread and noticed that the OP stating the company won't release the name of the turbo manufactuer<spell?

Esmeril... Bad for your Rotary...

and that is way i look at stuff before i buy it. Just not enough people know what to look for when buying these items and get screwed by learning later on. Shame.

Man, that's horrible. Sucks he got put in that position, we need as many turbo 8's on the road as possible!!

You get what you pay for end of story. Other than a warning about the company and kit I'm really not to sure what the guy has to bitch about. I mean he mentioned 1800 times about his 5 months at such and such turbo company and from the way hes speaking seemed to have picked up all there was to know in that 5 months so seems to me he would have checked everything out prior to putting all the crap on his car. No name = junk always has if it was not junk then the people that made it would slap thier name on it because they were proud of it. No mention of the duel vs single manifold and scroll until all the shit hit the fan would have thought that might have been something noticed right off the bat if you took time to actually take a look at what you were putting on your car. Guess its just me I like to fondle my parts before they end up on the car. Shitty way to blow 7k but if your willing to blow it on parts you know nothing about and didn't bother to check out prior to installing it on your car then I got no tears for you.

supposedly the turbo they use is XSPower, which is junk

Yes, you get what you pay for. Quality products cost money, but 7k is alot to pay for knock off stuff.
