RS60 good idea?

[NickMOSU]

Basically I'm looking into finally buying a turbo and I came across that great deal on the turbonetics RS60 for $699. Basically I have all the supporting mods I want (except my wideband which I think I'll buy at the same time, others listed in profile). However, I will be running this on my stock 7bolt with 150k miles until it craps on me. Yes I realize it isn't going to last and I plan on building a 6 bolt this spring. Any feedback on this turbo choice? Good for my setup? I don't have any pressing goals, 11's would be nice eventually, I assume spoolup will be around 4kish.

If you can deal with a lot more lag than go for it. I assume you know what your getting into when you step up to a larger turbo, so go for it. I do hear, however that turbonetics turbos have a bad rep for the quality of their turbos.

They're doing the "One year no hassle" return deal. If you drop the turbo on the ground and crack it, they'll replace it, or something like that.

Taken from DSMotorsport:

"Turbonetics T3T4 turbochargers are backed by a 1 year no hassle warranty. Turbonetics will repair or replace any Turbonetics product, including parts used for racing upon failure."
