Kevin Jeanette at Gunnar Porsche Racing recommended them to me when my UMW k27HFS smoke machine needed rebuilding after only 800-1000 miles two times in a row.

They don't need a fancy impressive looking webpage because people in the know just call them.
Their quality, knowledge, and turn around time is faster than anywhere else in the USA and they have and use the ultra expensive computer controlled VSR balancing machine to balance every turbo cartridge assembly that goes through their shop.

When I sent them my K27 HFS they repaired eroded piston ring oil seal lands and upgraded it with a 360 degree thrust bearing in place of the smaller one that was in it.
They called and told me when it was done and it was delivered back to me in just under 2 weeks from when I shipped it to them.
I talked to Bob that works there and knows everything about turbo's.
We'll have disagree on this one, some of the best tuners in the country use them exclusively. Todd Knighton and others. They modified and rebuilt my K24s for my Gt2 (24/18s) and are well known and respected in the 996/997 community. They also have every expensive machine you need to do a perfect flawless job. 2 weeks, turbos are back better than ever.
