Anyone know about JDM Sports?

I bought a turbo kit from a company by the name of JDM Sports. Does anyone know anything good or bad about these guys? The turbo is nice, no play in it, and a solid cast. Lemme know homies!

I'm not sure I could buy any tC part at all from anyone with JDM in the name...

One thing I don't understand though is why people run out and buy something from someone (especially something expensive) and then ask if the company is any good...

yes ebay is the answer, but when an entire turbo kit for $1000 is for grabs and I was able to talk him down to $540 shipped, I couldnt pass it up!!!

Well I'm not sure he's really got problem with it (yet)... but just bought it and now wants to know if he did business with good people.

But ya, he's probably screwed 50 miles down the road.

I took the turbo to my buddy's shop and he said that it was a good turbo, but the only problem with the kit is that the blow off valve and the boost controller werent worth a ____. Its too easy to buy a HKS BOV, and an electronic boost controller, and I have myself a nice, CHEAP turbo setup. Oh, and he wasn't selling the kit for $540, he didnt sell for the price he wanted so I emailed him with the offer and he needed the money and took it. $540... I just couldnt pass it up!
