Default Reputable turbo sellers

I know this has been covered before, but the search engine brings up crap. I'm looking for a turbonetics T3/T04S A/R .63, I'm looked in the sponor section and spoolin performance is the only company that came up, and they only carry 2 turbonetics turbos online. So if you guys can post links/websites of sites you've had good luck with and trust for buying a turbo. thanks guys

Is there a particular reason it has to be a turbonetics turbo? You could get a Garrett equivalent a lot easier, and a better turbo in my opinion.

Yeah I do like garrett, but I like the confidence of a 1 year warranty that turbonetics offers. I've heard that turbonetics service department is very easy to deal with and garrett is a pain in the ***. That's from what I've heard, and I would'nt mind having a garrett or precision turbo, but neither offer a warranty(which sold me).

Trust me, the Turbonetics warranty department is a joke. Just because they say that the units have a 1 year warranty doesn't mean a damn thing. They like to blame turbo failures on "oil contamination", thereby voiding your warranty.

Buy a nice Garrett unit from Tony @ T1R, Full-Race, or a decent Garrett distributor and be done with it..

So I'm assuming that you've had a bad exprience with turbonetics? I've talked to a lot of different people, and garrett/turbonetics/precision are practically equal, and come down to personal preference. I do appreciate your opinion, but precision is over priced and I've narrowed it down to turbonetics.

T1/ARturbo!

We've been around for a long long time and you've never heard anything bad from us. We offer warranty too. We have the best service and knowledge. We are not your usual HT seller that you see now days. Scamming people is the new bandwagon on HT, and its a wagon we will stay off of.

Arturbo/ t1 race development where knowledge is power, we offer both.

We offer knowledge and power. We offer it in a 2 for one sale. Or if you want both we can offer that too. If you want one of the two, then we could also offer you that.

Do you offer wholesale pricing on this?

Edit: We sell turbos too, but not Turbonetics.

As far as I know, Garrett has always had a warranty. I've had to deal with garrett before on some bad turbos. It might've been oil pressure related but they rebuilt or replaced them no questions asked.

Art, how bout Tony be knowledge and you be power?

Let's put it like this. At any given time, there are at least or so 30 people who resell garrett or another line in H-T alone
