Default Turbo

Hey I'm looking for a turbo and I found this site has anyone heard of it. (www.**********.com) Anyway my turbo went out and I'm laid off and have very little money and need to fix my car. The site looks good but I think they are new has anyone heard of them and what do you think. I'm hoping you guys can help me out because this is my first turbo car and everyone I have talked to definitely say I need a new turbo. Sounds like it has seized from lack of oil. And if anyone knows of a cheaper site let me know. Thanks

You might want to look into the cause and not necessarily focus on the symptom...

You are absolutely right. We already banned this spammer once when he posted a bunch of crap across CL last month.

8FastRides 174.54.167.236
TurboLex1 174.54.167.236

This is how companies get their URL banned Got to ask yourself, you want to buy from an unethical company like that who lies (pretending to be a member to 'independently' recommend their own product) to promote their business? Not me.
