Default My experience with them was less than positive.

AW really needs to do a vendor rating poll. Rennlist did one, it was very informative.

<center><img src="http://www.greedspeed.com/pics/P0001142.jpg"></center><p>Not a Hoax. This turbocharger is not manufactured directly by Garret.

The turbocharger is custom built to utilize the Garret GT25 ceramic ball bearing family CHRA (Center Housing Rotating Assembly).

It utilizes a new cast exhaust housing that allows for it to be dirctly bolted to the stock A4/Passat 1.8T exhaust Manifold as well as the stock cat.

Basic Components:
· Custom GT25 Turbocharger
· GreedSpeed GS4 ECU
· Fuel Injectors

Other Components
· Hi-Flow Cat
· Ported Manifold
· Front Mounted Intercooler & piping

This turbo is still in its development phases. We have not finished testing on this turbocharger and all associated components. We will release more details as they become available.

Attached is another angle that will make it apparent how it bolts up.

If you want more information, feel free to phone or email via the website. I will not be checking Audiworld for about another week as I am going out of town.

Default I've always gotten GREAT service from Greedspeed.

I would also not hesitate to recommend their services to any of my friends. I know many people that are very happy with Greedspeed. I'm sure every company flubs up once in a while though. It's just the nature of the retail business. As much as you try, you just can't please every single customer.

Yet another "engineered?" short cut.

Why do you say that? It isn't even out yet and anything could happen between now and then.

Actually I called them before this was posted, they told me the turbocharger won't be available until May. It seemed like they don't even have it yet. How can they be testing already??????
