Browsing for a descent turbo kit

hey guys
was searching for a new Turbo kit for my car and bumped into this
http://forums.dcevoclub.com/showthre...n-Development)

anyone tried this? quality looks AMAZING by looking on the pictures.

am still aiming for the ETS T3 kits (PTE 6262 or 5857 Journal bearing) but am taking it easy due to international shipping charges so trying to take my time to hit it once and do it right.
any feedbacks would be appreciated
cheers

i would strongly suggest avoiding a journal bearing precision turbo like the plague.

I agree! I think your best bet is to get a twin scroll HTA3586 1.06a/r or a single scroll HTA3582. Those would be sick on your 2.3L. If you want a nasty street car then go with the HTA3076 .82 a/r or 1.06a/r for a bit more topend. ETS can hook you up with all of this. Give Michael a ring

It's called a 25psi wastegate and 90% Duty cycle. The fiance said I couldn't buy a red so I figured id I blew my stock turbo she would have no choice but to let me buy it. Of course she still doesn't know I intentionally blew the turbo. I however, that it would have lasted longer so it was a shock to me when I noticed after a month oil was coming out my exhaust.

Actually I think Lucas at ER welded his wastegate shut at one point and I think he was seeing 38+psi.
