WC Engineering

WC Engineering makes every attempt to have our Stage I turbos in stock. However, this is not always possible. The Garrett T-3 turbo used on the Lotus Esprit is a very unique unit. It uses a turbine housing (the hot exhaust part) that is only used on the Esprit and it is not commonly available. When an order comes in, the turbo is shipped to you, th... e customer, or to a shop that you may be using for the work. The turbo can be swapped with a minimum of downtime for your car and when you're done you return the old turbo to us. When we receive the old turbo back, the cycle starts over again. As you can imagine, there is also some transit time involved in shipping. However, if a customer doesn't install their new turbo on their car for a few days or weeks, it means that we don't have a core back to rebuild for other customers. This can cause significant delays. We have acquired a few spare "cores" that we use for upgrades and hope to acquire more to help reduce our turnaround time. If you are considering of one of our units, we would be happy to hear from you. Please contact us and we will provide current inventory status. If we are out of stock we will make note of your information and be in contact with you as soon as we have an availability date. Sometimes we keep a list of interested parties. We do not require a deposit to be put on the list, but it is encouraged. Our busiest time of the year for turbos seems to be fall through spring, when people are doing upgrades and maintenance on their cars. Try to contact us early so that we can have a unit available for you when you are ready.Read More
