BEGi is going to offer DIY kits
BEGi added to their web site two kits coming in the next few days. One is going to have the manifold downpipe and a garrett turbo and the other, the "Shanghai kit" is going to have a chinese turbo they have been testing for a while in house.

Stephanie was telling me about this...should end the constant bitching about late shipping...since it's all DIY - they COULD get these shipped quickly (doesn't mean it will or won't happen).
Kudos to Bell for doing this...great idea.

Careful here people my kids are both Chinese and Jewish. I was going to be the 1st person to buy this new chinacharger kit form BEGi but that car is no longer getting a turbo and the insurance is paying out better then expected.
I will be down there in a few days to get some parts so I can get some pics of the chinachargers they are going to use if that will help anyone.

I should also note that I saw the Borat movie with a Jewish girl I met in Santa Fe, lol.
What car did you pick-up? I wanted that turbo brg, bad.

Good, just in time for my build. I was just thinking about something like this a few daysgo. Seems they read my mind! Once I get more info on the china charger, I may take that route to be one of the earlier testers. I plan to turbo within 2 or 3 months, so perfect timing.
I was eyeballing an "off brand" turbo last night, similar specs to a 2560, but only ~$275. As long as the center section is fairly designed, and the housings are rip offs of name brand parts, what really could go wrong? Only so many parts in a turbo that can fail.

Thanks for the offer.
p.s. where you involved in an accident? What are your plans now?

I've asked this question to some in the past, and from what I understand it is an ethnicity and also a religion. Not too many of you guys here in CA so I don't get too much exposure from Jews over here. Enlighten me so I don't make a fool of myself in the future.
BTW, is calling someone a Jew derogatory?

Personally, I run knock-off (though not Chinese knockoffs) WG and BOV. These are important parts, but they aren't subjected to the extreme conditions a turbocharger is expected to reliably operate under (my BOV doesn't spin 100k RPM's either).

You're all jews, now get back on topic! This is about BEGi kits and chinachargers, both of which I am interested in hearing more about.
I guess I knew most all Chinachargers were journal bearing, which is probably how they keep the price so low. But for a $400 savings vs a Garrett, I could take a slight delay in boost. I will be curious to see axactly what they will offer. If it looks decent I may very well bite, but if its not such a hot deal, I may still stick with my other plans. I will almost for sure use their manifold and downpipe either way.

Its too long to really explain the finely drawn line, so if you are really that curious you can IM me and ill give you the run down. But accept it as both, better to do that then not and get into an unnecessary debate with someone.
It can be derogatory depending on context. Kinda like ------ and *****, you know.
But yea, lets get back on topic. I stopped hijacking threads a long time ago and I dont want braineack changing my avatar again.

I think Mark had a Chinacharger in his "Ghettocharger" set-up. He said often that it worked fine and was dependable.
