Has any one any experience with GT3 Turbo In Essex - some of their prices seem too good to be true. The Turbo/Wastegate Dump Valve combination I am looking at is over £500 less than competitor prices.

Cheers Neil

Never heard of them.

But more to the point, what exactly are they selling ? Often if it sounds too good to be true, then likely it is.

There are lots of cheap crap coming in from CHina, that look the part, but dont last.

But without knowing exactl details of the parts you refer to, its impossible to make a judgement.

Call Garrett up and ask them if they are bona-fide?

Maybe its just me being too cautious - Ive been caught out before, or it could be that my other quotes were on the high side.

I was looking at the GT3582R - GT3 have it priced with a Tial housing for a lot less that I was quoted elsewhere.

Always helps to be cautious though, trust your instincts.

I've met Myles a couple of times (owner of GT3Turbo) and all his stuff is legit. Same stuff as used from ATP turbo.

You will have no worries ordering from him

And besides, he is based in UK. So why not pop down and call in and see what he has. That would leave you in no doubt.


The dodgy shops dont even have a shop outlet, despite claiming they have all sorts of stock ready to ship from the UK....wont mention any names XSXSXSXS

Thanks for all the input. I have been in touch and the thing that made me most suspicious pricing wise was tial turbine housing that was a free upgrade. It turns out it was a listing error - which has now been corrected.
It's a bit far for me to pop down, but they are willing to take anything back that i am not happy with & that i have in writing.

I'm happy to go ahead with the order.
