Default Where Do you buy?

Just some friendly Advice. After a couple weeks of looking around for a decent axel back, I have decided to go with the Tanabe Concept G for my 06 BSP tc. I wanted a less restictive axel back for my soon to come turbo (cant decide on that either)
But I am waiting until my warrenty is voided after 3 years (because Im not gonna hit 36000 any time soon.) Anyway, long story short I'm looking for upgrades that wont void my warrenty.

An axelback wont.. and I have decided on the Tanabe.
Anybody know any trustworthy dealers? I went on the Tanabe website and started going down the list but I just don't want to order from the wrong one.

So if anybody knows any trustworthy Tanabe shops...

OR..

Any big problems with the Tanabe

Or any advice in general

Thx

You all rock

screw the warranty. mod the car if you want to, turbo the car if you want to. warranty is 3 years OR 36,000 miles, your car is not going to break apart/wear under 36K, unless you dont take care of it. and if it hits 36k or 3yr, its not like youre going to bring it to the dealer and let them fix it, and spend hundreds of extra $$ more...where as you can do it yourself or a local auto shop for cheap. dealer price are always rip off, thats why i didnt buy all those extra parts from the dealer.

I turboed my car at 1,200miles...now at 3,000+ and waiting for more parts to come.

Hows the Turbonetics Turbo? I know its one of the more pricey turbos on the market, but what do you think? The really only time I have to drive my car is when I have school in the fall which is a 4 days a week, 20 mile round trip hike.

I've never had a turbo on any car before, so I guess you can call me a newb about them. My father is a mechanic, so I know engines and I know what turbo's do, but I don't know how they affect reliability and gas mileage. I wouldn't care if my mileage dropped to 20 miles a gallon or so, I just don't wanna crack the block or blow a ring / piston @ 60,000.

turbonetics turbo is great! the best quality with 1 year warranty. the pipes look good too. some people are getting WHP/WTQ more than what the turbo is claiming. it all depends on how you really maintain the engine (ex. oil change, auto turbo timer) and driving the car.
