It is a Begi-S with a chinese turbo which Bell will accept responsibility for. I don't see why this thread has not been locked yet. Yes we all understand 1400 bucks is a lot of money, but in reality 500 of that is probably the turbo. You can buy a used garrett for that kind of money. There is nothing wrong with the turbo even though it's probably made by children in a sweatshop.
If Corky can trust the things, it should be more than enough reassurance your **** will be in check.

I jumped in on Friday before their price increases. The turbo has me slightly worried, but I'm under the impression that such a reputable company would not sell that kit without some reasonable confidence in it. I would probably upgrade to a Garrett ball bearing down the road.

Considering how the economy is going, if Corky raised the prices of kits made here just so he can pay his employees a little more, I'm good ok with that. I'm sure no one at BEGI is getting 100k bonuses this year.
BTW thats not a knock on Poobs, I think he's cool!

Just talked with Steph and I can still order a kit without the 10% increase. So I am looking at the Shang. kit & want to upgrade to the SS cooland (+159) and clutch lines (+35). Seems like a good idea. Also, I think I want to streth my budget to include the Separated Gases Downpipe in mild steel (+100 option) Getting it in Stainless Steel (+200) is a bit too much right now. Is it a big difference, I know that the stainless steel won't rust, but the car is garage kept and will never see the rain/snow. Performance wise, is there a big difference with the Seperated Gases DP? I know it is supposed to spool faster, just wondering if there is a direct comparison. Car will be a autoX/track/sunday drive car. Thanks for any thoughts guys.
