In short yes VSracing sells offshore turbos. But they stand behind them. Summit now stocks VS racing parts, and full throttle speed has them listed on their site.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

And make sure it's IN STOCK. If it isn't...go elsewhere. You've been warned.

Been this way for the over thirty yrs I've been fooling with Buicks. Plenty of sellers gone by the wayside over the yrs and many had a business model that didn't include product on hand.

Pretty damn hard in a small market place with limited volume to have an inventory that covers all variations of products.  It's a recipe for going out of business fast.  Even Summit has a lot of stuff drop shipped from its suppliers frequently.

That assumes ''somebody'' has it in stock. Sometimes it has to be built and the customer is left waiting with no idea when it will arrive.

Might be but when you charge a guys credit card and hold his money with excuses and out and out lies, that too is a recipe for  going out of business fast.

No kidding. I don't even consider myself a real vendor, but everything I have listed is on the shelves in my home arcade.   I don't drop ship anything.

Buick vendors were getting incredibly tough to deal with.
