Anyone heard anything good/bad about Schwitzer turbo's?

Found a good deal (I think) on a twin setup of Schwitzer turbo's. The top is a HT3B, and the bottom is a S-300. I can get all my plumbing plus an ATS manifold for $2200 less than what my shop wants for a twin setup of Holesets, plumbing and ATS manifold. Anyone running schwitzer's? Happy with them, hate them? Know anything about them? $2200 is a big difference and alot to keep in my pocket. Any and all comments welcome!

I checked into Schwitzers a few years ago and they were so much cheaper it scared me away. If I'm not mistaken Schwitzer was bought out by Borg-Warner about five years ago and now go by that name. They must have been doing something right though because Schwitzer has made turbos since the early 1900s. That's about all I know about them.

Thanx for your 2 cents, frankly thats what scares me also. My shop wants $3999 to do a setup of holsets with the ATS manifold and necessary plumbing. I found that if I go with the twin schwitzers, the ATS, and necessary plumbing it drops to about 1800 plus whatever the tranny cooler costs... That is a serious price difference and what prompted my question.

Schwitzer wheels spool wicked fast and flow good air.

Just ask any B-1, B-2, Big Brother, or KwikSpool how they like thiers.

These must be the ones on E-bay. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone where they are , They where only at $255.00 last night, but the dude says they are new, and look it.

Go look on Ebay, I'll check in just a few to see if I can find the ad, but there was a big one and a little one.
