Hmm... I'd be weary of any off shore company that would name itself the same as a reputable aftermarket provider and tuner.

Mach V Motorsports has been around for a long time, and I've spent thousands of dollars with them when I had my 97 Talon lol.

Don't cheap out on turbos guys. When you have a turbine and compressor spinning 200,000-300,000rpm, things can go wrong very fast if they are not good quality. One chip from a compressor wheel going into your combustion chamber can mean catastrophic failure.

You're quoting the wrong company and/or website. This is their website: http://www.mach5performance.com/index.php

But they're not new..... They've been making exhaust systems for high-end autos for years in both Taiwan and the USA..Similar to Cusco China/Cusco USA.

You paid 30k for an EX-T? I'm sorry but you were ripped off, even with the Touring/Honda Sensing Package.
Is this thread about a cheap shitty turbo upgrade OR if I overpaid? Maybe you should change the title?

Probabaly better just wait for the Si or go for Focus ST. It is never economical to try aftermarket performance this way unless you have a large amount of money to sink with.

A lot of turbochargers are made overseas, this does not mean they are of bad quality. From what I've gathered, MHI [the OE supplier of the TD03 turbocharger for the L15B7] manufactures most of it's turbochargers at its plant in Thailand.

Mitsubishi Turbocharger Asia Co., Ltd., will be supplying all of the CHRA's (cartridges) that will be used for final assembly at their new Turbocharger Plant in Indiana, probably in large part to supply turbocharger assemblies to the Honda plant(s) in the US:
