Default Anyone have any experience with Turbosh turbos?

I found what appears to be a very good deal on a package deal that includes a Turbosh T3/T4 turbo. This is something I found locally, not on Ebay. The kit was originally put together for a civic but was never used, so some of the components may need to be excluded or replaced with better suited parts. The only thing I can think of that's not included is the exhaust manifold and tuning, which I'm guessing won't be too hard to find.

So anyone heard any horror stories about these turbos? especially in regards to a 1.8t application? I'd rather go with Garrett or Borg Warner, but given the price of this kit I need to, at the very least satisfy my curiousity. What do you guys think?

I think it's an Acura/honduh thing. And could not find anything on them worth while

That's what I was thinking. May work for them, but I don't think I'd dare to put that stuff on my car. Maybe if I heard of a few 1.8t applications with good results, but there don't seem to be much if any. Thanks for your input.

Turbos aren't brand reliable...
