Terrible. This is not meant to be a flame, but do a search and you'll see countless folks who were extremely dissatisfied.

I have never had any problems with Vividracing my shipment was always on time, they always bargained with me. Maybe I was just lucky.

Alex, I'm just making an honest statement. I think I could assure you that most HIIC'ers would love to give you most or all of their business for stuff we've got to send away for (about 99% of it).

Is BOZZSPEED's online store up and running? Will they ever become and I-club vendor?

While I've got your ear, what are some of the larger (like AVO, APS, Garrett, HKS) 450-500hp, plug and play turbos that you can get your hands on? I'm partial to the low-mileage, used ones.

Its BOZZ Performance, not BOZZ Speed.

The site is online, but I cannot open it until we finilize some final price related issues.

BP is an i-Club vendor.

For turbo's, I only deal with JDM stuff, so no AVO/APS for me.

GReddy makes a bolt on turbo T185Z. Good for about 350hp.
GReddy also has a huge T67 kit. Thats what I am running. 450hp+
GReddy also has a 20G kit. ~ 400hp on it.
Power Enterprise has PE1818, 1820 and 1825. 1825 is good for 350-400.
HKS has a 2540 turbo kit. Nice kit. Our customer made 268whp on Shiv's Dynamic Dyno. Thats about 300whp on a Dynojet, so about 400hp.
HKS also about to release GT-RS turbos. These are uber cool. 400hp easy.

Of course, these numbers are very rough. The output will depend on gobs of other factors.

Let me know if you got more q's.

- Alex

Go for the Greddy T67 Pat! The perfect match for your EJ25. I kinda had my eye on the T67 as well. Maybe later...

oh yeah baby! T67!!


and a big HELL no to vivid, .... the HIIC kinda banned them a year or so ago, ... so most of us will keep it that way.

thumbs up to Gruppe-S!

and of course Alex too ...

and even more so for Speed Gear here on island!!


*hey Alex, ... I believe Mike emailed you about pricing on some Cusco stuff, ... last I heard you hadn't replied. So if you read this, you can either email me (nolimitwrx@yahoo) or email him back.
We Need to get the order in!!!
