Ive had 2 S.I.P 130a turbo's and they were ok, just need to look after them and service them well.

Got a butters 170a now and it is great, so much better but it all depends on how much you want to spend ?

Get yourself a good butters/sealy/cebora etc for that money.

Even a 2nd hand cebora (snap on) would do well.

Spend some money on a good auto helmet too as it save fucking about trying to press buttons or hold a shield.
