I have a connection to somebody in japan and we are trying to see if it is worth bringing car parts over here? He can get turbos,body kits and pretty much any car part. If i wanted to put a turbo on my dads gt what turbo would i put and could it be bought from japan? Need help any info on bringing parts from there to here will help alot thanks.
 
for a turbo on a gt you might want to run a T66 single turbo setup. A twin setup would spool faster and give you full boost quicker. It would be a fortune to make a turbo system for a gt mustang from Japan parts. Shipping would be outrageous. You might be looking at $5k + !!! Not to mention you better have a built engine and get custom grind cams for a turbo app. Shoot! just to have the turbo headers made (if some company doesn't make them already) would be probably be around $1k plus then you'd need custom exhaust too. Just procharge it and be done. Don't give your hard earned american money to the japanese market our economy has enough problems as it is. AMERICA RULES!!!

OK guys seriously.. look under every product at your home and see where its made. Look at your shirts and pants and see where they are made.. Most everything is made overseas, so don't be a giant hypocrite telling people to "buy American." On the other hand I respect all of you alls' wanting to support our economy.

If you can get a better product from Japan (which probably makes some of the most reliable stuff in the world) for a good price, go for it.

If there is a choice, buy American. Its not like we can help that the companies that make cars go to overseas but we can surely buy American made parts. I bought Nittos, sadly the BGFs did not fit my needs. So what other choices did I have when there were only 2 companies at the time making DRs like that?

That logic is fine as long as you know the quality of the American part is up to par. In terms of getting a Turbo, I'd buy American too;)
