Default uk-performance-uk?

Anyone here used them or heard about them?

It appears I need another turbo and uk-performance are selling a TD05H-20G for £300 on ebay.

I phoned them and was told all their parts are manufactured in the UK. The company have decent feedback but I can't afford to be stung for a chocolate turbo.

Link here.

That is awfully cheap don't you think, a little too cheap I reckon.
With turbos you get what you pay for and for £300 you won't get much. Sit tight and save up a few more pennies and get one from AF or the like. At least you know your getting quality.

Send them a message through eBay asking them for proof their turbo made 420 bhp.... You won't get a reply that's for sure. Even a proper 20G will struggle to hit that on straight fuel.

The problem I have is its my only car and I need it for work so need it asap.

I'll give it a miss and get mine sorted.
