    ^Nice running the turbo off the coolant line!

    Its not the worst brand in the world. Mostly Honda owners go with. I wouldnt buy it either, there are a lot of quality turbo companies out there. Look at Bullseye, SBR, Forced Performance, AGP, Buschar, PTE, ect...

    Personally I don't see why NOT. They are a major supplier for the TT kits on the 350z/G35s. I've yet to hear anything bad about them.

    If the price is right, I would do it.

    why not go with a better brand? nothing wrong with turbonetics, but there's way better. unless you got a hook up on turbonetics turbos.......

    The problem I have with Turbonetics is that they were backordered for several months, hence the delay in my kit :evil:

    Nothing wrong with Turbonetics. Other then what wanderingpinoy stated.

    DSM guys tend to buy from other companies like SBR then Honda guys who love Turbonetics. I haven't heard anything bad about them.

    I have installed more than my fair share of turbonectics turbo's for people around the way. Never have yet heard any problems with them, besides them being on back order, which is normal for a company that is a major supplier.

    turbonetics turbos tend to be less reliable then most other brands. Turbonetics and AGP went into a big price war on turbo and with their lowered price they lowered quality. For a decent price you can get a nice Precision Turbo. I paid like $800 for mine brand new.
