Thanks for bringing your knowledge to bear on Kamak, I appreciate it. But its been a day and a half and still no response to my facebook message. NOT a sign that customer care is a priority.

I ordered a wastegate actuator from them a few weeks ago, got it in a few days. I accidentally ordered the wrong one, emailed them, and got a response within 10 minutes saying they would take care of it...and they did. I haven't got to use it yet since I'm waiting on a few more parts before the motor goes back in, but quality seems good.

if only you would take your time to research about the company you're buying from instead of buying blindly..

i hope u people really learn from your mistakes. bashing a product just because it's cheap and when you've never used it before really hurts their business.
you people who condemns these turbos should be happy because you get a good pricing turbo with very good quality. imagine yourself working hard to roll out good products and people whom have never tried em tried to bash your products off scaring away potential customers. imagine how much damage its gonna cost to your company's reputation and products.. |

jjasonn!!!! Im glad someone is finally backing up what I have been saying now for a while. Me and a few other member know about these and Love them. Ive been saying since my first post in this thread that in Japan and the UK these are highly respected products. Here in the US they are "new" to the market. So as expected with any new product, if its not something everyone on here uses, then it tends to get the "its garbage" name really fast.
Im guessing most of you dont even know Garrett parts are made in Japan..... Likely in the same damn factory!!! Garrett charges more because they assemble the turbos here in the US!! Where wages are slightly higher, they then mark the turbos up double because of the higher wages and make 3x as much!! The parts are manufactured there because the metal is cheaper and manufacturing costs are also lower than here. They do the math... cheap to make there, but market as a US turbo because its assembled here! You pay 3x more than you should because of this. If they were assembled there like Kamak/kinugawa then you would be paying the same price for the garrett turbo as you do these turbos! These turbos ARE NEW to us here in the states. But what people fail to understand because of lack of research..... they have been around for a long ass time!! Just not here in the states. Research people, research! The turbos are not that cheap $700-$800 for a kinugawa turbo. When you can get a sweet ass Ebay or GSP turbo for $299. Those are cheap made in a shady ass factory turbos that I wouldnt dare put on my lawn mower! Last edited by UK-Wagon; 05-18-2012 at 10:48 PM. |

Do you see US factories doing that for every of their single products? NO! Have you seen manufacturers in Japan doing that? NO! Since Grimmspeed spoke earlier. I will use them as an example. Grimmspeed, For each and every single products that you guys have manufactured, Do you have ISO certifications? NO! I don't think so. But Kamak does. Every single turbo has been certified. Also, We in Japan knows NOTHING about your products. If someone were to mention your name here. and someone starts condemn your products just because you were never known in Japan or because your parts are cheap. Imagine the hurt its gonna do to your business? And trust me. When you guys are talking about modding the **** outta your cars, I assure you guys. You people are WAY behind us Japanese in modding our cars. Be fair to others. Be fair to yourself. You guys are running a business and so is others. |

So why is it people who have no clue about the product are chiming in and talking S**T??? The only reviews you will come up with on other forums are GOOD reviews! Not bad, these are new to us here and already getting a bad name before people even put them on their cars? nonsense..... |

I've also run /ran 1 for over 2 years of beating the living snot outta every weekend pushed the boost in the upper part of the efficiency range for most the time I ran it. It really is a shame how closed mind people can be. There's being /buying cheap & then there is buying cheaper.... Just gotta do your home work. I read about the boys on the other side of the pond rocking these for years w/ no issues. P.m'd a few on the 22b boards & they convinced me they are excellent turbos for the price .Most have had great Customer service when needed . A lil more than .02's worth .. but whatever |

And that's only natural when the only places to actually get driving is after midnight on the Shutoko, or hitting the skylines in Hakone, Tsukuba-san and the other mountain routes. Whereas we have wide-open straight roads (non tolled!) were you can drive 1200km and only take 4 corners. Not to mention the sheer availability of quarter mile tracks. Point being, Americans spend a *lot* more money on turbochargers than Japanese do, which is why they are also far more skeptical about makers they don't know, because this forum is full of horror stories about that. If kinugawa wants to get past that image - they have to actually put some work into getting data out there, participating with users via forums/facebook, and spending time understanding the market. For instance, the fact that most people in the states have a spot to work on their car, such as a 1-2 car garage. Thus there is far more DIY in the states vs. the majority of Japanese that live in the major cities where they are paying 3man to 5man a month for a single parking spot where they cannot work on their car. |

also, i bet you've not stayed in japan for a long time. if u only think of autobacs, then, you are not qualified to even talk about Japan's auto scene. Ricers stays at autobacs while the real deal, hang out at garages. If you think that us paying 3 man a month for a parking is bad enough, wait till you see us throw yens in millions into our car. I for one has spent 2.5 million yen this month alone on my car. obviously, you've never seen the real deal. so, im sorry. you're not qualified to even comment on the auto scene in Japan. Talking onto this point, Real deal races on the Shutoko , Kanjo etc are organized between garages and they send their best cars out to race there. What you've seen on Shutoko without garages name are probably ricers. Maybe all you know is hanging out at Daikoku or participating in some drives along Shutoko means you know much about the auto scene. No you're wrong. Head over to some big names garages and you'll tell yourself you're wrong. Last edited by jjasonn; 05-19-2012 at 04:21 AM. |

Bottom line... Unless you have personally ran these turbos ,it's all speculation good or bad.
I've run them & will continue to run them. |

To be very honest, I sincerely hope you are not a rep for kinugawa or Kamak, because you are not really making a good impression towards either. Not because they are bad turbo's, but because of the way you respond to anybody that dares ask questions about them. I mentioned the Super Autobacs because, for better or worse, that's where most of the aftermarket parts are sold in Japan. The most modified vehicle in Japan? Subaru Legacies. Quote:
