mjm turbo

[vwwebb]

anyone know anything about this?

[pantablo]

only turbo(s) ever added to a gs500 were custom jobs (for school projects).

Nope, not even mjm, rangerbrown talked to them and they seem to have their heads firmly implanted in their asses.

[LimaXray]

I'm pretty sure they are just relabeled, over-priced Garrett ball-bearing turbos sold for motorcycles... don't waste your time

[rangerbrown]

  that right there is what we call a moron.  That guy has no idea what he's talking about, I wouldn't even think about doing business with them. 

Take a look at this, read through 101,102, and 103.  Most importantly, look at 103, and it will explain why it makes no sense to say "The spec is for 400cc to 600cc", "this one is very fast", and "It can boost up to 32psi." 

Also, he's suggesting you buy a KKK turbo, and let me tell you, no KKK turbo can do 32psi, nor is it "One of the easiest turbo to adapt."  Hell, I have a KKK K03 sitting in my garage with a broken wastegate flapper valve I could sell you for dirt cheap.  It would be an alright size for the GS, but I still wouldn't recommend it.   

Check out http://www.atpturbo.com. They have everything you need and they know what they are talking about.   

[rangerbrown]

yea, i know. i have yet to get any thing back form the last e-mail i sent, what a f%$king retard.

i know a far deal about them. i just cant understand why this ass hat was trying lead me on to think that.

o-god i figured it out, he though i was one of those mindless ricers that has a bike to turbo

[rangerbrown]

PS,

    kids, it pays to go to school and get a education about stuff like this before trying to dive head long into it.
Lucky, i haven't but went to school and worked on air cooled turbo aircraft engines that are technically carbed but aren't.

[LimaXray]

yeah i always tell people to read about this stuff before buying a turbo.  A lot of people who buy turbos really have no idea what they're getting into and will buy a turbo soley on the retailers recommendation.  I'm amazed by how many retailers selling turbos out there give specs for their turbos that make no sense and don't offer any form of compressor map. 

Everytime I see an auction listing on eBay like this:

Compressor Wheel : exducer :2.07" / Mayor 2.36"

---------------------

I want to email the high bidder and be like "stop bidding! go read a book!  this listing makes no freaking sense, don't buy this crap!." But there's no point, people constantly buy them anyway, oh well, what can I do?
