If I ever bought a china charger I'd port it like this before even bothering with it. Or rebuild like the second vid.

My chinacharger is fine. It is made at the TBO turbo factory and sold by EMUSA.

This is the smart thing to do. Share the experience you have had with these parts. That's how we'll learn which are the good ones. Instead everyone keeps the information to themselves for fear of being ridiculed by "Internet Rich" people who only buy the best money can buy. Some body is buying the Chinese parts because I know they're selling a ton of it.

Actually you're way off buddy.. Nonsense like this is the reason why people like you get "ridiculed".

No we're not "internet rich" people.. we're the "smart shopper" crowd here.

Sure some can afford the top of the line stuff custom made stuff the best money can buy. Most of us can't so we look for deals on used good parts. Used begi and FM kits can be found fairly often. Truth is do you want something thats garbage and will run like **** or wont run at all or do you want to actually enjoy the car you're building?

I can actually "afford" to buy nicer parts than I do. I choose to limit my expenditures on this hobby to an amount I have deemed reasonable. This "toy car" that I play with isn't my only hobby.

I have to agree with triple88a. Most of my parts were bought used and at great low prices. However if you ask my wife I still spent to much money on the car. I dont make a ton of money and Im the bread winner so if I can get a good deal on something that is built to last and has a good following I'll get it. Im the last person to jump in line to buy a NEW BEGi/FM kit or Artech or Absurdflow parts. I have nothing against their prices, I just cant afford it. So I stalk the classifieds day and night trying to find certified pre own quality stuff on here.

And again you are referring to a kit that you can get with a Chinese turbo. From a reputable company that says they use them with confidence. I know someone is going to say " yea but it's a quality Chinese turbo" .
Ok that's my point. Would you want to know which ones are good?
And what would you be ridiculing me for? What have I done?

I don't think anyone understands your point. Still.


BeGi doesn't sell JUST chinese turbos.

The main point of this thread is that the EYELURVETAKKOTAKKO kit sucks massive amounts of dick and the turbo is potentially the only thing even worth trying.

That's the point.

What's yours?

Reread what I wrote, exactly.
Then click here.
BEGI Shanghai Miata Turbo Systems - BEGi
Then go back and read what I wrote again.

My point is clearly typed out on the screen for you to read. Go back and read what I actually typed.

Does begi offer the same warranty for their churbos as the genuine units?
No?

Why not?

Why do you have to resort to name calling? Does it make you feel better about yourself?

I was considering the shanghai and asked, and Stephanie made it very clear that the warranty on the shanghai is 15 days FROM RECEIPT. So if it takes you more than 2 weeks to get everything installed and tuned properly (not unlikely, seeing as how you don't *really* know when you're going to get it, and may not have the time blocked off to install) you're S.O.L. if it is D.O.A.

To be honest, that fact alone was enough for me to buy the BEGi-S instead of the Shanghai-S. I worked at a dealership long enough to know why some cars have a 10/100,000 warranty and some have a 3/36,000...

Would you mind highlighting your point in bold?



I still don't see where Triple88a said anything about a Chinese turbo kit. He wasn't referring to one. Your post makes no sense.

Why not?
You know why. Just as I do. The caveat to this is this line here from their site.

"We have testing a china charger in house for 10 months with no problems."

Bell has a pretty good reputation. They're not going to mess it up selling completely crap stuff. Even if they say buyer beware, it does not remove all liabilty nor blame. They know what they are doing.

Anyway this has just turned into something other than what I intended. So I'll just leave it at that. Everyone has their own thing. I just dont see the need to get "abrasive" over something so minor that everyone seems to not like anyways.

I won't argue this with you because you seem to know next to nothing and arguing vague stupid things.

I'll just ask:

Have you purchased from BEGi before?
Have you run a chinacharger for a substantial length of time?

I want to know because if you haven't, then you can go ahead and just stop posting in this thread altogether.
