Hmmmm...let's see here. You could always stop by your local tuning shop and have them order you some Garrett turbos, considering they are direct and I'm sure they could get you a decent price. As a matter of fact, I'm sure I remember someone saying somthing about matching advertised prices if they were lower. So my question to you Evo_bill....why don't you ever buy anything from them even though you stop in there all the f-in time and ask for pricing info???? As somone has said before, why not give your local guy the business where you know the place and the people?? You know that if there is a problem that they will bend over backwards to help you, not put you on hold while they try to figure out how they want to screw you because your 3000 mi away. Hmmmmm

For the average person reasonable and HKS do not go together. They are very nice turbos and worth the price IMO.

If I were looking for some twins to throw at say... a rb26 I would look into some Garrett GT2860R -5's But that's just me and i know very little Very proven setup. Look into it. Oh and the extra you save over HKS just PM me for my paypal!

I saw a chart on here once with compairing or counter parts of different turbos between different manufactures... HKS, Garrett, and some other turbo. anyone have that link?
