HP Motoring?

[clem]

hey guys have any of you ever heard about hp motoring in florida ?

[JekylandHyde]

Yes, I've heard of them. I would buy elsewhere.

There are many, much better shops to deal with in the MR2 community:
www.chicoraceworks.com, www.atsracing.com, www.twosrus.com, www.kbox.ca ... just to name a few.

but they are more convenient to me i live in the bahamas and florida is only 45 minutes away, it sounds like you heard some bad things about this company!

did any of you guys ever heard anything about there turbo`s? i spoke to the guy he told me

"You can safely run 12 psi, after that what allows you not to go higher is
the intake manifiold. The stock intake leans out # 3 cylinder. We sell a
high performance intake that is 695.00 this will allow you tu run 20 psi
safely and is good for up to 500 whp."

this is a upgraded ct26 putting a 50trim race wheel in front and a larger exhaust wheel and all new seals! My question to you guys is is this turbo good for what they say it is good for ?

[MR. 2Lanes]

That sounds ridiculous.

[Piddy]

12psi is stock boost... haha. And that 'upgraded' turbo is trash... but a ct27 or a real turbo .

well ... i won't bash them because i bought some ARP clutch bolts and valave cover bolts from them a few years ago. however, if they told you that, then i'd probably pass on buying anything from them. they're prices are not the best out there and when you add ignorance (and possible deception) to the mix, it's just not worth it.
