yup, if you match the design and specs ... xaviar appears to be another re-branded kamak turbo just like kinugawa.

A recent Cobb customer in Austin made 350ish whp with a kinugawa (kamak) 18g on his 08 wrx. I dont remember if he was on E85 or gas. The turbos work. Even my old blouch 20g has kamak housings. Not sure about the internals, but it has held up well.

I have a old DeadBolt TD06-20G. I want to rebuilt it before a slap it on for kicks. I plan to use a Kinugawa kit too rebuild it.
Ive used them in the past with good results. |

I would think a kamak td05 20g on e85 would be way above 330. I make more than that on gas with my 20g. On e85 I make over 400. But I have a ton of supporting mods.
Yeah, cobb trains their calibrators well. I still need to slap my car on Trey's dyno. I finally fixed all of my boost, vacuum, oil, and coolant leaks last night. I did a road dyno run on the way to work this morning. It read 368 whp and 408 wtq on gas. The tune is still rouugh though. |

guys, thats only on 1 bar. and I have the 2.0 STi RA.
I have to change to newage coils before I up the boost, as my coils can't keep up. what about posting some graphs with the td05-20g-8cm ?? |

Anyone have any updates on the Kamak - Kinugawa turbos? Miles? Looking to maybe replace my fp18g with the same thing (only 8cm).

I was thinking more towards install and run some logs to verify everything is the same vs. an entire new tune. |

I don't have much to add other than I bought a kamak p18 exhaust housing and it's almost identical to the factory turbo. It is evident that there is less attention to detail in the machining in some areas though.
It's hard to know what to make of it. If they can't pay attention to detail with something as simple as a cast exhaust housing, I'm not sure I would trust their complete turbos. then again the exhaust housing isn't necessarily a precision part in many ways, so it's possible that they just cut out "unnecessary" work. YMMV |

I have been reading quite a bit on the Kinugawa turbos and think I will be going the 20g tdo6 with 8cm route. My question is will a billet wheel upgrade be worth the money. Have not seen any one that has menitioned if the upgrade is worth it??

Hi everyone, I live in the UK and I've been researching these turbos quite a lot and ended up buying one thru' the steamspeed offer on here. I'm like the OP, I enjoy experimenting and not running with the crowd.
Just thought I'd let you know what I found about them. KAMAK are the manufacturer of these turbos, the rest, kinugawa etc are brand names. KAMAK are also OEM turbo manufacturers for a few manufacturers, the main one being Hyundai. How they appear to operate is that the KAMAK turbos are the best turbos that the company produce, uprated actuators, compressors, turbines etc, all the best and newest parts go into the KAMAK turbo. Kinugawa etc are there old tech designs, meaning you can pick up their turbos at a slightly lower price, however, you can specify that they are built with the latest tech, so you can have the STS turbine, or the billet compressor if you wish. Personally, I think it's quite a good setup, if a little confusing...but I think that is because they don't seem to try and force their products like most, so aren't that well known. The parts are manufactured in Japan, compressors, housings, rotating assemblies, turbines etc and then sent off to be assembled/balanced in Thaiwan before being shipped out. I think for £750 ($1150) delivered within 4 days, they are a great deal, so long as they do as advertised. I'll keep you guys updated with progress once the snail is nailed to my car (Saturday) and mapped (Wednesday). Anyway here's a couple of pictures for you. And here is my car...stock until the weekend rolls around. 2005 widetrack STi. |

I got tuned with a KAMAK TD06SL2-20g a week ago on my 2011 WRX, and it made 370whp/381tq on a dynojet. Very happy with it so far, the billet compressor and sts turbine wheels are works of art.
