don't be so sceptical about brand name....to me every brands have their own specialties and technologies they developed....but it is fair to talk about our own opinions about those products...even i will choose Blitz because i know their track records more than any other tuners.....

Out of curiosity, GReddy, HKS, etc. who have their own line of turbo upgrades, are they actually making the turbos themselves, or are they being built by the big companies "to spec" as provided by HKS, BlitZ, etc.?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'm pretty sure most are built to "spec" as I believe Garrett does GReddy's turbos.

MKIII supra, hey? ...I reckon' Greddy is the way to go...it's "cheaper", but the performance of their parts seems to be up there with HKS and Blitz...it really depends on the turbo upgrade you want...is it a "drift spec" supra? If it's a huge upgrade in boost you want, go HKS...the quality is better 8)

i have a few hks products in my car.. frp, experoamce, i probably wont buy it again.. i have an 91 mr2..

i have a hks superflow intake which needs to be replaced every 5000kms. and the filters arent cheap either. while competetors dont need replacement at all or that often. . in addition, when u replace the filter, both inside out of the green foam is filled with black particles..

also i have and hks hyper exhaust which is not functional anymore.. got it used, used it for abt a year.. dont expect much either.
