#9464, "About the NER Turbos"


          



To me these new turbos look pretty bad azz, but how do you think they will stack up against HRC and Star.

(In terms of reliability, quality, and hp to $ ratio)

LAST EDITED ON 14-Nov-01 AT 10:00 PM (PST)

It's really hard to say. The nice thing about HRC and STAR is that all of us who have both of these kits are YOUR living guniea pigs. Every day, we experience the real life results of these kits, what they offer, their benefits, and their drawbacks in terms of both performance and reliability.

For well over 2 years, I've personally observed the many posts and experiences of the early 2gnters (Chris Morales, Joe Ackley, Eric, Wyatt (very briefly) and just a couple others) buy these two kits and act as a living experiment for me before I made my own decision on which to buy. I chose after my own careful consideration and countless hours weighing my options. Then, after a few months from when I bought my own kit, they're literally seemed to be an explosion of turbo kit purchases as the number of turbo 420a's has multiplied to a countless extent. Now (because of the large # of turbo kit owners), all of you are lucky enough to have possibly someone living closeby to you who even has one of these two kits and be able to make your own educated choice on another customer's personal experiences.

Now, the problem with NER will be an initial testing and trial period before we'll know the true results of the kit. It's not so much the performance that's going to be weighed adn scrutinized (we know Garret turbos are great), but the customer service, product quality, reliability, and support that we'll all be watching.

Stay tuned...and choose carefully! (it's your dollars being spent)

Oh yeah, I got them. Thanks man! Well I plan on it, that is going to be my goal. I plan on going stage one by the end of the summer and hopefully getting a starion intercooler and be stage two by christmas, but we shall see. Being a college student is hard when you have dreams of performance and no job, I think I am going to look for one for next semester and open up a seperate account.
