I had one of their stage three T35 hybrids (T34 obviously) with 0.48 housing. They were happy for it to run anything up to 32psi, which is beyond the turbo really!!!

They even agreed to honour the guarantee on the turbo halfway through when I (yes me -not them) changed the zorst housing for a 0.63!

Have needed the guarantee for a minor thing, and they have never even questioned it.

Just a good product IMO

I brought a T34 .48 off Tommy field in 2002 and it's been on the car n covered 25k without the problem....

It's taken my abuse so can't say i've dissapointed! Also my old T3 is on the wall to show to muller a turbo

Turbo runs 1.7BAR without a problem, excellent stuff...
