I keep seeing turbos online for really short money . you can easily get a low mileage turbo for about 5g more than they are asking for a C4S. I did a quick reliability search and it seems like they are not afflicted with the m96 problems. They obviously have there own inherit problems. They seem minor compared to the m96 unit. I also understand that the Gt3 does not have these issues either but they are expensive in comparison to the prices of 996 turbos. anybody care to chime in on why this is ?
