Have enough business for the sqft and employees as it is.

Last thing in the world I want to do is sell to buttdyno racers,they always dispute credit card charges or want bigger stickers.

wheels , housing interior hot and cold,inlet,outlet,thermal coatings. just things a good rebuilder would do when modding a turbo.

Guy who builds all of our shop turbos does tractor pulling in europe and is based in sweden if that helps.

Guys guys guys....

I've known and been talking to Jeff (2009R56JCW) for over a year now...and he is not a troll. Although I have never personally seen his car, I will believe him more than any of the other clowns that claim they have put big turbo kits on and then disappear. He has been around on NAM a lot longer than it may seem

Everything he is saying can be done, as he said all it takes is some $$$$ and an engine builder that knows what he's doing. In the end of the day, you still have a finicky R56 though...
