How are you liking this turbo so far? Surprised at how cheap it is and wondering how it's going to hold up.

I have used their turbos on other builds, they are ebay turbos that have been balanced and stronger oil control rings installed...mine held up great and afik are still holding up great as the individuals have me do work on their cars still lol! Would have gotten one but got kinugawa version for ~100 less!

Been running this 20G on my EJ207 with E85 at 22 psi for about 1500 miles now. So far so good.

i really like my kinugawa but may grab one of these when it goes...what power are you making and what is the spool like?

Can we keep getting updates on this turbo... I'm a cheap ass/poor soooo...... Might grab one

Jedi03 · 01-20-2021, 05:49 PM

i highly recommend them! obviously the more expensive ones have better longevity, but the one that i posted up above afaik its still going strong several years later...friend uses me as his mechanic and he hasn't complained about it lol

Just to confirm, the hardware/fittings sold separately is required?? None of the oem stuff can be used on these??

Jedi03 · 02-10-2021, 10:58 AM

correct...the housings are much larger requiring specific hoses/drains

Okay, so, I have the turbo sitting next to me... Going to go speed density at the same time so finishing up that parts allocation... But, what can I expect realistically?? Site says 450hp (at the flywheel?) at 28psi...will I be able to at least get 400 wheel? Debating on 3 or 4 bar map currently...

I think you should be able to get that...based on the flow charts I have seen for this size of turbo they tend to run out ~22-24psi, I am at 19lbs and ~350/60 at the wheel
