Turbonetics have been around for years. Doubt you'll have any issues.

Precision also make a huge range and are nice units and well priced.

Same here...I have a Turbonetics T61 turbo that was only used on the dyno and covered 0 miles on the road....

Awesome turbo which has flowed 550+hp on Zetecs!

Very nice surge lines on them to!

I've had a T66 on my 3 Door for a few years now, quite laggy but pulls well when on boost.
But it's making way for a GTX3076R which I bought a couple of weeks ago.
