just my opinion of course.
A turbo VTS will be animal if done well, but £2500 for an entry level kit seems steep.

What, wake up and smell the coffee my friend. I know of people doing the turbo build themselves for around that mark. So for a company to do it, it's pretty good.

Stick to the garrett for starters.cheap and readily available in almost any size you could want. I got 3 gt17s all in perfectly good order for under 200quids.
A gt25 sold on ebay for like 50quid the other day. Find out what cars they are fitted to from factory and see whos breaking em.

Ive not seen that particular turbo, but if the 26 is relating to the size then itl be reasonable. For 20quid you cant go wrong. Get it bought. If its no good you aint exactly gonna loose much money.

I built my turbo conversion for arround 800 with refurbished turbo, new intercooler and pipes, used AEM piggyback ecu, new AEM wideband afr controller, used cams, self made manifold. If you search enough, you can find almost everything for good price. Obviously this not include the labor, because i did everything myself.
