AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!


If they are claiming they are old Garrett parts then they are the ones that weren't up to garrett's strict standards. I have heard on many different boards about complete failures of these turbos. I don't have the time at work to search around for pictures to prove my case but they are definitely out there.

I don't mind some of the non moving parts XS power & SS autochrome sells like intercoolers or maybe even a BOV but when bearings and shafts spinning at 50K+ rpm are involved I prefer to spend the money for the good stuff.
