Need source for resin turbos and intercoolers

[Canada Jeff]

Howdy all

I'm looking to buy a small quantity of resin turbos and a couple intercoolers. Can anybody recommend a seller that is RELIABLE, reasonably quick and ships to Canada?

I've been burned by crooked resin casters before, so I'm fishing for recommendations before I go shopping. (It still physically pains me to type the words "Reliable" and "Resin" in the same sentence)

Thanks

Might want to check ModelHaus - while they are still in business. Rumor has it they are gonna quit selling resin then end of this year or next.

I had to do a little research on turbo plumbing for this one! I'm mainly a traditional hot rod and Kustom guy, so this is new ground for me.

I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet, but I will try to get a build thread started once there's something worth photographing.

Thanks again for the tip.

For those who would rather do it yourself, if you join "jerryscherrys" forum, under tutorials there's a cheap way to make your own turbos. As for intercoolers, if one gets a nice one in a kit, why not cast your own? Press the two sides of the intercooler into the clay and use slower drying epoxy to cast the 2 halves. Sand a bit and glue together. If there are imperfections, some may be filled with paint. Pop off valves can also be cast with this method.
