Do you have any factual experience with these turbo's to deem them "crap" ? or do you just assume they are crap because they are not a PTE

Doesn't matter that it's not PTE, or ITS, Or Turbonetics, etc..

It's that it's SBR. SBR is a mail order company, not a turbo shop. This is just based over the many [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] experience I have had with SBR in the past and what I have heard of the fun customers and other people have had with "sbr" parts.

So to answer your question no, but I have also seen NO factual experience from anyone with either of these turbo's NOT being crap. If they were worth anything don't you think we would have heard about it?

fair enough.. I know I would not run one of their clutches seeing how for the same price you can get a ACT.

SBR sucks.
Stick with a mitsu or garret turbo or just get something from Fp.
