Godspeed

Godspeed, anyone think this brand is getting better? People are always saying that theyre making better turbos now and most of their parts are good? I mean that company looks pretty legit but not too legit. I know its an ebay company but still. And there prices are going up, what does that mean? Just wanted to hear what all of you think about them..

I think they are a chinese/taiwan based company so they most likely cheap out on their parts. I personally wouldn't purchase a turbo from them because the internals are probably junk, and if they come apart it's gonna cause more damage internally to your engine.

Their basically just brand name ebay junk. You can get a full radiator for like 200$ n stuff but I guess for the price they aren't bad. I honestly rather not go cheap though, cheaper you go the worse it is

I wouldn't buy anything that moves from these knock-off companies. I do have a CX/PR rad that does well, however.

Anything with a diaphragm, CHRA, or moving components....neverevereverever.

The only "tuner" type eBay shop I would (will) do business with is Boombop Racing. I've had pretty good luck with their customer service and products. But even with them it is only a small selection of products that I would consider. And like Kris, I also have a radiator and fans that came from eBay...they are working fine, but the radiator isn't what I would call spectacular build quality. For everything else on my car, it's either OEM, hand built, or came from or one of the reputable vendors.

I still haven't seen anything about Godspeed that makes me want to give them my hard-earned money though.

EDIT: I am also running a set of TRE's that I got for dirt cheap off of some shop there, and they are working fine so far.

I will say that my "drop in" rad did require me to "massage" the upper rad-mount area...with a BFH.

Yeah.... mine prompted this: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...71-rebuilding-your-stock-radiator-mounts.html

I think mine is from CX Racing or something like that.
