GARRETT TURBOCHARGERS

[fromthearth]

turbo's are cheaper from the us mate. just gota hope thet get past customs without duty ben charged or summat like that. try atpturbo.com

[taylormade]

but there around 1K here there only $650 on that site

[fromthearth]

think your link is to journal bearing turbo's!

[doge5644]

Even with customs charges on top it should still work out cheaper, theres Ways around customs tho

[taylormade]

what percent do customs take?

is it 17.5%

[screamer69]

15% then £13.50 parcelforce fee

[taylormade]

turbo £392 plus about £60 plus £13 =£465 then P&P from the US say £35

so £500 for a garrett turbo posted (roughly) lmao

whats wrong with journal bearing turbo's? compared to roller bearings?

[doge5644]

cheap then huh....

[taylormade]

*goes to get bank card* * find he has no money in it* lmao

[doge5644]

Neverminds.....They're probably counterfit anyways lmao

[fromthearth]

nothing wrong with journal bearing turbo's, there easier n cheaper to service service than gt turbo's. im not sure off the benefits of a ball bearing turbo think they spool quicker

[taylormade]

so are these a good buy if i was looking for around 300bhp from a let and an external wastegate?

[fromthearth]

yes which one were u looking at?

[taylormade]

Garrett T3/TO4E 50 trim w/ .48

or what one would you think?

[fromthearth]

that should spool very quick but not give much headroom power wise for the future. depends what your after from your car.

[taylormade]

im not wanting to realy go over 300 bhp as if will be manly for road use and things start would start breaking if i try for more power

[screamer69]

turbo £392 plus about £60 plus £13 =£465 then P&P from the US say £35

£393+60 then vat@15% then clearence fee of £13.50 depending on company they use to send it

[taylormade]

the £60 is the vat at 15% (roughly £60)

when do aye pay the vat?

[screamer69]

the £60 is the vat at 15% (roughly £60)

sorry i read it wrong you need to add the vat to postage as well then you will get a letter when they have it at the depo or if your tracking it you can phone them and pay it

but it depends on the company thats sending them out they may send them out at a lower price ( paper work saying £20) or they can send then out as gift, repair, replacment

it all depends on the company email them and ask then how they send it out as any of the above and they offer postage insurance take it out just incase something goes wrong you can only claim for what in the paper work

[Gordo]

the £60 is the vat at 15% (roughly £60)

Two suggestions, ciontact the vendor - I expect they've some experience in export orders tot he UK, or give your local cCstoms and Excise office a call and see what they say.
IMO, no point in risking it being confisicated for the sake of a few quid.

[Dunk1]

Interesting thread guy's! let us know how you get on.. as I'm thinking about adding a turbo to my GF RX8

[screamer69]

IMO, no point in risking it being confisicated for the sake of a few quid.

they wont do that as its not on there list of banned things

been importing turbos,etc for years now never have any problems if its on there list of banned stuff they they will take it away other than that its fine

[taylormade]

think il get one of these when im looking at getting a turbo
worth the risk i think

Agreed.. uk prices on car parts are just to high.
