The problem with Martin and Speed Factor though is that he acts like he knows all this shit about these turbos he pushes at everyone on these other DSM sites and crap and is just another mostly internet speed shop. He just regurgitates what PTE and Bullseye tell him and passes it onto his customer without having any real experience with anything. PTE makes some decent turbos but you really don't want to get most of your info or sizing/power information from them directly, they are new to imports and more used to bigger displacement Grand Nationals. Sometimes when we get turbos from them, we have to lie to them about what kind of car it is going on so that they don't try to talk us out of buying it. They think a high reving Honda mean 6000RPMs and anything bigger than their basic T3/T4s are too big for 4 cylinders. Their HP ratings are usually way off too, believe me, there isn't a 115hp difference between a 50-trim and 60-trim.
