Probably not the right place for this

I am looking into turbos and saw alot on BBS Designs yet the link says the site maybe up for sale. Did this company go out of business and if not then how do I get a hold of them. Looking for a basic 6lbs turbo kit to bolt on to smash a 3.8 TTA in the neighborhood. I'm losing by about 4 cars in the quarter. Help me find BBS designs please, and thanks ahead of time.

Re: Probably not the right place for this

I see that post but will he be bringing back the kits? I don't know but it sounds like he went out of business and if he is coming back, will his products be good or not. I just question this and some helpful info would be nice. Thanks in advance. P.S. Does anyone know about how much a basic kit would set me back? I wanted to get a general idea.

If you want to see a real trick turbo set up thats different but no more expensive try looking up squire turbos. I saw David Memmelo on Shade Tree Mechanic put their twin turbo setup on a 2004 C5 corvette, and it was BAD A$$

Re: Probably not the right place for this

Yeah but STS turbos doesn't make a kit for our cars. They make a universal but the research and development in the kits is better than just sticking some turbos and piping out there and calling it universal. I was looking for bolt on kits that have had some kind of R&D.
