crowd favorite?

I am wanting new turbos but not sure where to start far as which company. Are most turbos simalar from company to company. Is there a brand that stands out in front of the competion? What is everyones favorite brand to go with? There are just to many to choose from which is not a bad thing. Just need some guidence, I want to run twins but would be only able to buy one at a time. Thanks in addvance

Well, its almost like a favorite ice cream flavor. All kinds of different oppinions.
All the above you mentioned are good choices. You can also throw in Htt, Bullseye,Turbonetics... and the list goes on.

If you went to a place that had nothing but turbos and you went to a section that had a specific size like a 62/14 . w/in that section most of those turbos are actually the same if not very similar and they share a lot of parts for instance i saw the same 62/14 that HTT has at BDs both and it was the same way with the exhaust manifold

well Industrial injection and high tech turbos are made by the same company. and on size it all depends on the setup and BD super and special are very good turbos for the money and may be a little less money but overall its personal preference

thank you for the replies, from the responces I guess I will find the cheaper one. I just didn't want to go with a company that does not build quality parts as far the bearings or housing or anything else thanks again I guess I can't go wrong

I think you should also consider a company that is local to you for support after the sale.
Most sets out there from the big players are well proven but stuff occasionally fails.
It would suck not having any local support and you truck down for a long time waiting for parts in the mail
Free plug for my Piers set LOL
