I would NOT recommend Forced Induction... They've had my turbo since May - still waiting on it.

Does anyone know of a source for the carbon piston seals? I think that's what they're missing.

This place is run by an *** clown. I'm amazed they are still in business. Myself and others have had a very bad experience.

I got a K27/8 done by this dude at Turbo Performance and it leaked coolant when I put it back on and after instruction by me to check the bearing housing for leaks before rebuilding.

I sent it back, he sent another and it leaked coolant.

Avoid him, he's an idiot.
