one of our main businesses is building engines and transmission for local and international clients/companies.

As Jose from @boostedbenz.com already stated, there are a lot of products in the pipeline that will be released. We are since 2005 here in UAE located but never branded ourselves.

We just need the one kidney . Lol. But honestly it is competitively priced for being new upgraded turbos and you get to keep your OEM turbos. You can probably sell to the 550 guys 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just a thought
