Default Godspeed Turbos?

Hey guys has anyone used these guys? I'm just wondering how the quality is and if they're worth a look...

Also is there any turbo on their site that might work for our cars? I'm not a turbo guru.. Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't dream of putting one of those on any of my cars. Had a friend put one of the cheap CHinese copies like this on his Turbo Coupe probably 6-7 years ago when they first started surfacing. He did not make it around the block before it siezed due to insufficient oiling passages. I heard enough stories from the other Turbo Ford guys to to not touch that with a 10 foot pole.

You are making a mistake if you are trying to buy a turbo on the cheap. Good turbos are not inexpensive.

under $300 turbo=china.

I've had friends run them on jap imports and the results are mixed, but usually just mildly bad. No real carnage, but the center bushings and the seals aren't what they should be. I have a friend who takes them, uses genuine turbonetics or other parts, and runs them reliably. YMMV.
