Turbo on a GQ

Post by ToddCPO »

Hey guys,
Just got a quote for a DTS turbo for my GQ Coil cab and was wondering if this is a good price to have one fitted and everything tuned in.
Also DTS Turbos, are they good? Reliable? Anyone have one to give for's and againsts??

Thanx

Yeah i got quoted about 3100 for the DTS turbo kit. then everything else on top.
So is this a normal price for a turbo? I am gathering it is after the looking around i have done.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the DTS brand itself? Heard anything bad about it?

3000-4000 is your normal "KIT" price... DTS been round for years, everyone has different opinions and different expectations.

DTS, Safari, Denco, AXT etc are all very good kits these days.. I had a Denco kit on GQ< and their aftersales service would be hard to beat.

Most of them use a Garrett or Mitsubishi turbo anyway. If you get a DTS, get your engine mounts changed before you fit it because the left hand one is just about impossible to access afterwards, should it happen to shit itself (which they often do).

I had a Safari turbo fitted last year and that cost me $4200 fitted including 3in mandrel exhaust. Drive in drive out took three days due to my second battery tray and broken exhaust studs.....

Was looking at getting a kit and fitting myself but for the small saving and then having to dyno it etc it was worth paying someone else to have the headaches.......
