jesse francia Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Good Day, I'm planning to travel to Thailand early next year and wondering if where can I buy quality aftermarket turbos for my Toyota 2KD Innova. Hope you could give me some list of trusted performance shops around Bangkok. Thanks, Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coremouse Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Worldtech Engineering is a great shop if shoot for higher end, very complete selection, newest Garrett, BW, PT models, spare parts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I had mine shipped from the US. I forget what we called it, but ended up paying no tax. If you are coming from somewhere that has turbos cheaper, why not bring it in. Prices for genuine stuff is higher here I've been told by some people in the biz.

So I've decided to travel and buy it directly and maybe i could get much cheaper and quality turbos/performance parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 You can't buy off ebay, amazon or the likes? Will be cheaper then buying from here, especially if you have to pay to get here, then spend 14 days in quarantine upon arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope imported big name brands will require custom header, support mods etc., their pricing are pretty good only slightly expensive than say in states. Not familliar with 2KD, maybe better choices than those expensive ones but if your goals are very high end spooling like a jet could always pay them a visit. They also have many authentic Tial, Turbosmart parts etc. Edited May 9, 2020 by Coremouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to go Thailand next year when after this pandemic lock down ends. I've learned that they're authorized seller and service center for the big name brands. Thanks for the recommendation ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet but I'm also buying other car accessories in Thailand so i think it's the best way for me to save some cash and also take on a tour around Bangkok ????

alacrity Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hard to imagine why Thailand has lower tariffs and more expertise than other regional countries. Interesting that you would wish to boost an Innova. Each to their own preference I suppose and wish you god luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coremouse Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) I think turbocharger subassembly are generally classified at custom as "specialty machine-air pump" under 84.14 & NOT car parts 87.08? Thus should be totally tariff exempt from any form E of FTA countries, eg. China, Australia, ASEAN, maybe Japan, but not US or EU Anything machinary here is expensive though. Just bought a long reach dial indicator for 2,500 baht... no vendor carries a $5 M2.5 tip extender Edited May 13, 2020 by Coremouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innova has the 2KD motor which is the same 2.5 Diesel that was in Earlier Vigo and Fortuner's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
