Bwahahahahaha! That was too funny.

I think you buy it in 2 parts, one 950 for the disposable "head" and like 3,000 for the Gelette Mach III base!

i remember when i was looking for a turbo for my civic. i went down to a shop called tazweed in sharjah and the guy there was giving me a garret turbo for around 1000aed, but when you add on all the other stuff like the manifold, gaskets, intercooler, BOV the cost was running down to around 3500aed if i remember correctly. the turbo itself usually isnt expensive its the other stuff in the package that make the setup look expensive!!

stay away from that crap , thai or chinese or even brazilian turbos are
all crap , the housings them selves may look good , but what matters
most is the CHRA ( core house rotating assembly ) , the material which
the blades are made of plus balancing the blades at extremely hi RPMs
more than 100K rpm :| , those two factors plays a major role about
durability & longevity of the turbo , plus other things as well ( like
bearings design , housings material , design , A/R ratio , trim , water cooled
or not , etc ) , the more complex & more exotic the materials , the
more expensive it gets

It is a perfect deal. Especially if you are planning to change your engine to a juice grinder. (Y)

very well said stone-head...we installed a turbo kit on a 98 accord almost a year ago using a made in china t3/t4 turbo...when we're tunning it at 8 psi everything was perfectly fine, got a near perfect AF readings, pull was good....but when increased the boost to 12psi...thats when all hell broke lose....our accord turned into a fogging machine, exhuast was puffing clouds of smoke...I dont know if the craftsmanship and quality has improved now...but in my case...thats the first and last time I will use a made in china turbo...justmy2cents

ProjectG, did u investigate the root cause of the issue... maybe your engine was not ready to take in so much boost... I am interested in ur project...

But Honestly I dont understand why people think boosting its simple as buying a turbo and sticking it with superglue would give 69 HP.

Unless is a excellent bolt on KIT from specialist , tuning and boosting is a special job and requires special attention.

Hi neo,

Sorry if i didnt made my post clear....the turbo gave way not the engine...bushing leaked out...compressor wheel fins busted...Engine is fine...and all things needed for a turbo set-up is considered. Injectors, reflashed ECU, tuned proper AFs...and thats what we do at our shop here...custom turbo set-up...although we specialize in mitsu's not hondas.

:)
