A buddy of mine (Rick) owns a shop (TNC HotRods) that is currently working on my turbo setup.

He is more than fairly priced, and the work is top quality. He's is a Percision Turbo dealer and does sells parts, not just kits so if you want to piece one together yourself. Check out the link below or in my sig.

Hey, just noticed your sig location is in Omaha. I also live in Omaha, And Rick that I mentioned above also is from Omaha, but just moved his shop out to Vegas for better business growth. He still does out-sourced work for HP Motorsports on giles here in Omaha.

Do some reading here… http://www.turbomustangs.com/turbokitpage.php

And some searching here… http://www.turbomustangs.com/smf/

If you post a newb question however…be prepared to get your head bitten off. The natives are not so friendly.

Whoa there with the oxymoron's. You should never use "good turbo kit" and "ebay" in the same sentence….ever! Seriously though…the quality of many of the el-cheapo kits is suspect to say the least…and the turbo quality even worse. Most have "buyer beware" written all over them (figuratively speaking).

Absolutely agree with Millhouse, I know just the kits he's talking about. Junk! Turbomustangs.com has a great link to many kits including feedback on the vendors themselves. I used the junkyard section to build my own kit.

HAHAHA I would NEVER go with anything from Hp motorsports. They missed up rebuilding my motor and did the worst job on porting. I have the money for the turbo, I'm in Iraq now and the money is all going in the pony.

I'm a member of turbomustang and they have been really cool. Just a lot of guys having turbos on stock motors. Not a fan if that.



P.S rick is the tall skinny guy that worked there?

I paid $500 for my complete TTI Street turbo kit on eBay. Good, cheap turbo kits on eBay? Yeh, they exist. Odds are you won't find one like I did, but stick to the brand name stuff. SSAutoChrome and XSPower are NOT name brands.

No, that may have been a different Rick. Rick never work at HPM. They contracted out to him for work.

For exsample: HPM doesn't do there own tranny work. They may offer the service but Rick was rebiulding all there trannys for a while.

I may have worded that wrong to begin with, please don't confuse Rick from TNC with anything that HP motorsports may have done.

Rick from TNC is a standup guy and by far the most knowlegble guy I know.

I thought I would just give some back ground on him because he was from your area.
