'Scuse the toyota driver barging in here, but has anyone heard of or dealt with this lot? The seem to be quite reasonably priced in terms of a replacement turbine for my MR2, but is their work up to much?

Thanks,
Alex

Bought a Turbo from Universal for an old RS Turbo years ago, Mail order really so couldn't comment on anything other than it arrived.

Owen Developments in Oxford build a majority of the turbos for the WRCs and other race series around the world.
They also manufacture for people like Fensport, so very relevant for you as a MR2 owner. I had a Rev 3 MR2 Turbo and would only use them.

Oddly enough I had an Owen built stage3 hybrid from Fensport on the car, it did about 16k and failed, dramatically. Does occur to me this must be the exception to the rule as everyone else seems to recommend them, but I thought I'd try a second opinion.
