I have more turbos than you'll ever have...

My local autocross club is lucky to have the owner of Deadbolt Enterprises as one of its members. They are a source for turbos for a wide range of applications. The owner, Jerry, announced a "Boostman" trophy for the owner of a turbocharged vehicle who collected the most points this season. Miraculously, in a club full of Subaru's, Jerry awarded the trophy to the only guy in the club driving an Evo.

This trophy is an amazing collection of 19G and other model turbine wheels, along with waste gate flappers and other parts. I am honored to have it.

Jerry is a great guy and his company one to consider if you're building your own turbo kit or are a vendor who is looking for a supplier (although I bet most of the vendors on here know him already).

Here are the links:

and his other venture, for car and performance part reviews:

Thanks. Just remember the company: Deadbolt Enterprises, for all your turbo needs.

(I do not own any stock in or work for this company, but a few of the guys in our club work there as well; they're all great guys.)

Two things about deadbolt enterprises:

One) Most of their turbos are for WRX/STI
two) I don't think they actually sell directly, they have 4 vendors

I was going to buy a turbo from them 3 years ago for my WRX, Deadbolt enterprise customer service was top notch but their vendors were no were close, they did not return my phone calls at all so I ended buying from Forceperformance.

However I do support their products, they don't imitate no one and they spend a lot of money on research, unfortunately they don't sell directly...

That's cool!

It reminds me of the BBS wheel trophy built by a VW tuner for a show they put on.
