Punishment Racing "Budget" 16G

Basicly it's no secret we have played around with various budget parts over the last year, some parts we have excellent luck with and others the quality just wasnt there. It's also no secret dsmers have been trying some of the ebay parts with some succes. Do a quick search on any of the dsm forums and you will find ebay parts account for a huge amount of the discussion's going on. So what we decided was to try and take some of the guess work out of things, we went out and did our own testing, found the parts that worked and the parts that didnt.

The parts you see on ebay are there for a reason, we aren't trying to hide anything, if I was I wouldn't have added our website address to the listing. If we are going to carry a line of "ebay" type parts what better place to have them in the market than on ebay. It also helps us reach out to a new group of customer's, you would be surprised how many emails we are getting from people who are new to the dsm world, and dont visit the forums. If they prove to be popular we will be adding a section to our site that is dedicated to budget parts.

So to end this book these parts aren't for everybody, some people want to stick to the brand name's other's would prefer something easier on the wallet. We will continue to put together some of the baddest manifolds o2 housing's and turbo kit's around, but for us to ignore 60-70% of the dsmer's out there who are buying the majority of their parts on ebay doesnt make sense.

I don't get it, are you trying to sell something here? Or are you quoting someone else? Punishment Racing is not a sponsor of the site, and as such, please read the rules on this. Thx!

Check previous posts, 90% of them from this user are cut and paste from other shops.

I can't tell if its a pooled spam account for shops that don't sponser here or a new guy trying to share old news..

Re: Punishment Racing "Budget" 16G

This noob is sure not shy that's for sure. I smell an epic thread in the very near future!

btw: From what it sounds like, you or whoever is selling these 16gs, is promoting "cheap" modding and that's not something I stand for. Do it right the first time with quality parts and you wont regret it.

Re: Punishment Racing "Budget" 16G

The china man 16g has been tested over and over again. In the end you get what you pay for, a cheaper turbo that does the "same" thing but will not last as long as a true MHI turbo. And ^-- I am with stupid, a epic thread is coming if he is not banned first.

Therefore he knows the truth.

Someone ban that asshat, this site is slowly going down the crapper, how about a mod put a stop to it?

Also 16G FTW, i didn't read the all of the OP, but i am sure it is crap and not telling us anything we didn't already know.

Those knock-off China 16Gs fail a lot. I never see real 16Gs fail and a real one isn't that expensive.

But dude, it's like $100-$250 cheaper for the china ones. And they come with gaskest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And they have a Warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you can just get a new one every other month, spend 30 hours a year swapping turbos, have awesome James Bond smoke screens at random intervals and get better fuel economy cause your turbo doesn't work half the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're the best thing since sliced bread AND sliced cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
