My brother designs turbo\'s for Cummins. He lives in America now but gets to pop over on business to Huddersfield sometimes.

You should be able to get turbos from him for cheap then. I know a lad that is doing an apprenticeship down there and they only cost in the region of £150 to produce a single turbo! In china that is but then they sell them on at terrible prices!

Yeah that\'d be nice. TBH it\'d be a lot easier if he was Huddersfield based though. Maybe I should get him to put one in his hand luggage next time he comes over!

Ye you should, one of the new twin inducer turbos they have brought out, huge boost output at low rpms! Would get rid of the so called low end torque problems on rotaries! Lol

Yeah, anything\'s possible. A mate of mine brought a pair of wheels for his Haonda SP2 over on the way back in his suitcases from visiting his sister in America. Admittedly they were Marchesini magnesium alloy ones so both together probably weighed less than a turbo housing :rollin
