    so, im sure i will not only get flamed but jynx myself...

    i bought lmi turbos, got money back whatever... then ended up buying another set of lmi turbos from someone off 3si a while back. it was a stupid low price so i figured whatever, he said he had pushed 18psi at them and been doing well

    put them on my car and they are running seemingly great. i really cant complain. i went blow thru and having other issues right now, but i hope to get it dyno'd before too much longer. we will see i guess, i constantly hold my breath. i still think they are poop

    We had a customer's car burn to the ground because of a leaking LMI turbo. He didn't have more then 500 miles on it. Totalled the whole car. Atrosity saw the pics.
