StarquestRescue Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I was looking up turbo cfm data the other day and read this. What is up with this quote from the TEP site? Turbo chargers.com's site shows none of there new bolt on turbos in stock. I believe all the new bolt on upgrades are made from new 14g or 12a's Are they nla? Please with hold your opinion on tep, there pricing and opinion rebuilding. That's another topic. But at some point the housings and turbines do get worn to a point that compromises the life span of a rebuild. NOTE: 2-1-2010Everyone with one of these cars knows it has become very difficult to get new Bolt-On Turbocharges these days. Rebuilding stock units is a terrible idea and rarely works out well. The proper parts are just not available to rebuild these old stock units properly which just results in a total waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragdoll_unlimited Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 well that complete statement is bullstinky. i can get new parts for any mitsu turbo made to the same specs and quality. that dude can go fly a kite in a minefield! the funny part is that i make brand new turbo's for quests. you can still get the parts, and just because the turbo is old does not mean its junk and cant be rebuild to factory spec.

Maxzillian Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'm pretty sure my "meager" 14G can put up just as good of a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxzillian Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Ok, was the front brakes involved in dragging that out, or was it pure horsepower? If the former, either your truck has crap for traction, or it has balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlrichWolf Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Here's a 14G on the job for you. http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/706/timsmoke.jpg By the way, that's a Maxzillian-built 14G on the job. Works dandy. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the former, either your truck has crap for traction, or it has balls! Front brakes were involved for the dark spots in the foreground. Then the rest is just lighting them up. Its a truck with a hx40 at 22psi. I have no clue what this traction thing is?! Oh i have no hate for small mitsu turbos. I always liked drifting with the 12a compared to the 16g aswell. I would always hate on big turbos until Scotty dont and i threw the holset on my truck... Edited February 28, 2010 by BOOSTED88tsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
