Default D-Tech Turbos

hey guys im been lookin around are the computer for a couple of days now lookin for a turbo. I came across one called D-Tech have you head of anything like this they are pretty cheap on price like 1,200 bucks and there twin turbo set up for around 3,700 bucks I was reading about them and they are comparing it to Industrial Injecton phatshaft,and BD super "B" special,.HTB2.While I was reading it i also found out it has a Garrett Compressor wheel I dont know it that is good or not,the specs on these 2 turbos are 62/12/65 and the other one is 64/12/65. To read all the specs on it go to D-Tech turbos.com. So should I buy this turbo? is anybody running this turbo??

I've heard some bad things about them after a like 10,000 miles or something like that and that they are pretty much the same quality as the knock off Holsets made in china. But then some vendors who sell them swear up and down that they are just as good as HTT or Industrial Injection and there are no problems with them. If it were me I would save up for an actual HTT, Phatshaft or a super B. I'm planning on getting a super B special sooner or later. Its really up to you. If you do get one and get good performance and reliability, then report back

I have sold several of their 62mm Turbos with no issues. I have never dealt with their compound kits.

I have enough $$$ right now to buy that 64mm from D-Tech but like you said its like a knock off brand but it is at a really good price do you think i have enough fuel to spool it up?

I don't know if you have enough fuel or not, but there was a guy on CF that said it didn't spool as fast as a super B but it gave about the same psi. He was putting out 450 HP if i remember right
