    Can't recommend a place to go to, but I can recommend avoiding Majestic Turbo in Waco.

    I had a bunch of problems with them back in '01 when I rebuilt the turbos on my RX-7. I had to send the turbos back twice before I got a set where the compressor blades spun freely. Of course, the compressor wheel on set #3 spun a little too freely, since it detached itself from the main shaft about thirty seconds after firing the engine up for testing and made its way through the intercooler into the engine. Well, pieces of it, anyway.

    So yeah, I wouldn't recommend them.

    I've had no issues with Majestic. The turbo on the OTM came from them with no related failures. The fellow who helped me build the car has been dealing with them for his own car and rides of others for about five years with no problems.

    Majestic in irving does really, really, really good work. they're world class. They have increadible pricing, and offer a real deal warranty. I know a handfull of peopel who've never had issues.

    Alamo also does really good work, but be ready to pay out.
