Bullseye Turbos

Jakey · 02-12-2005

After I initially posted up asking for people's opinions on the Bullseye TO4B and hearing numerous opinions downplaying the turbo, I've been rather skeptical of all the hipe about Bullseye's products. Now I see on Tuners that the one and only Ecoli adds some nice ownage in a Bullseye thread: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/show...7&page=1&pp=25 (see post # 44). I've also been enjoying reading the opinions of Bullseye by people on NABR. Has anyone ever worked directly with Bullseye on anything? Is all this excitement about their products truly a joke?

Bullseye is Dave Hall, that should be enough to stop anyone from buying thier shit right there.

Jakey · 02-13-2005

Wow that thread is getting entertaining. Shane + Hal + FP versus Brainwasheeee's.....Enough said.

Maybe that should be their marketing slogan? "All the power of an EVO III 16G, but with the lag of a T3/T4"

That was awsome LOL

Alpine TSi · 02-13-2005

Wow, some people just don't undestand... I pulled 320hp with a shot motor and way too much knock, it will be fun to see what I can do this year with a built motor and hopefully some more time to tune, then I will rub it in that peckerheads face.

**JET** · 02-13-2005

With what turbo?

Alpine TSi · 02-13-2005

EVO3 16G. Suppose I should have mentioned that.

santa · 02-13-2005

LOL!! That turbo looks just about an inch bigger than my 14b

. Thats just sad that it made 282. I mean for crying out loud there are 14b's putting down 300whp out there... whats the deal? *cough cough gay turbo..*

What's so sad about the whole situation is that people like me fall all over a turbo like that. If I hadn't have asked ya'll around here about it a while back or read NABR I would be totally oblivious to how shitty it is unless I decided to learn how to read compressor maps.

santa · 02-13-2005

I'm sorry but who want's to spend what $600 shipped on a POS that makes 280whp@19psi? He claim's it to be a better route than the evo III 16g? Then he went as far to claim his turbo's are a better route then the 20g also. Is this guy a morron or what? I wouldn't pay $600 for a POS when my 14b can make 300whp and its "easy intallation" too!!! damn thats awsome!!

I have worked with bullseye and you will never hear me say anything bad. They have treated me right. I have had my HX35 (on my 2G) with their turbine housing on it for over a year now and l have one of their watercooled Vtrims on my 1G. I love it. I have had a PTE turbo before and can tell you that the wastegate assembly on the BEP is a much better design and built product. The Vtrim has been proven to make 400whp without much problem. The same can be said for the EVO3, but it is maxed out at that point and can't go much further. It takes time for that maximun potential to be had from a turbo. How long did it take 20's to make it to the 11's and then 10's? Years. The same can be said for the 50 trim. It did not make 500 whp on the first car it was put on.

I purchased the turbo and will continue to support the shops that have great customer service and are willing to work with me on my goals. Not like some other shops that I have tried to deal with that "TOLD" me what I wanted. I say away from those.

If you do not want to deal with a certain shop that is fine, you don't have to. But when threads that have "good" information in them becomes cluttered with junk I just gets to me.

Sorry for the long raving, but I felt I needed to give my $.02.

The problem there is that a shop that knows what they are doing should tell you waht you want in some way. Look at the amount of setups places like Elite have had to deal with. Dyno results to go through and prior customer that have changed from setup to setup because one worked better than the next. So you want to spend money on a turbo. Awesome, it's your choice in the end. But I'd rather have a shop be open and tell me that the turbo I am buying is a big pile of steaming shit opposed to sitting back make the $50 markup on the turbo and call it a day.

I had a shop (which I won't say, but it is a well know turbo shop) tell me that I needed a 20G turbo. When I was looking at the next step up that seemed to be the hot ticket at the time and the reason he gave me that I needed a 20G was because I did not go to the track. I would run race gas on the street, but never went to the track. That was it. That was their reason!! They would not sell me the turbo I wanted. I did hear a rumor through the grape vine (I know.. take it will grain a salt) that they were having problems getting parts for their hot turbo and that was why they were pushing the 20G's. I don't know if it was true, but it sure would make sense.

I have known that Dave worked at extreme turbo at one point in time. I asked him about his history. He never lied to me or tried to "Con" me as it was stated in the thread. He listened to my goals, gave some options and we found a turbo that worked for me. That is how I got the HX35 on my car. It was something new that no one had tried and now look it seems to be the next hot ticket. I ran a 7.63 in the 1/8 with it.

Ok What track is between IA and WY? I get to choose which car I can bring?

What will you be running?? That 14B in your profile or something alittle bit bigger?

At-Least-It's-An-Evo · 02-13-2005

Bleh, not another challenge thread... How bout I call up the guy who bought my car to come run your car there in IA? I know he bought the car for street racing, but I'm sure he'd run it on the track if it involves money.

ipt · 02-13-2005

Where is he located at? I am have been having a hard time finding people that are truely hardcore here in central Iowa. I would be nice to race and compare what we have done to our cars.

At-Least-It's-An-Evo · 02-13-2005

He's in Indiana, 45 minutes east of Chicago and probably won't drive far to race unless it's for a couple thousand dollars.
