i was looking at this site earlier, and saw that they had some pretty decent proces on turbos and manifolds. but, i was wondering about the quality of these pieces, the manifolds in particular. they look pretty good. mandrel bent equal length, 304 Stainless steel. the turbos look good too, but i wanted to check and see if anyone had any direct experience with them or their products. thanks

I have a rebuilt T3 from them. It has some shaftplay... but I am not sure if it is within spec. Once I get it checked this weekend I'll let you know. Can't help you out with the manifold, mine is from Rank1Racing.

The manifold goes for $310 shipped with external wastegate.

I love it, it does a great job occupying my closet. :)

I don't know about those manifolds. They remind of SS AutoChrome.

The Turbos though. Supposed to be rebuilt. I'm waiting for Mario to have it inspected!

+1 for Mario takin one for the team!

I bought the manifold locally from someone. You can buy it from their website though.

It's a b-series mani, and it's not for sale. :)

I sent him a couple of emails and PMs but he never replied... oh well.

I would look at www.cheapturbo.com for a turbo instead of turbocalculator as I have heard some pretty negative things about them.

Nope. TEC is closed Sat. and Sun, and I called them today and they were closed presumably for President's Day. It looks like tomorrow might be the day.

The turbo better be in good condition or this company's going to hear it.

TEC hasn't called me back to let me know. I am going to take some video of the shaftplay and post it up and see what people think.
