Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows whether these are the same turbos Kitaro was selling?

Cheers.

Yes they are.

 

[Luke.R]

Ah well never mind, I'll look at getting one of daves then

 

[Animal GT]

[Ady]

are they good or rubbish?

I am believe Tong Turbos and Kitaro are differant people, I think Kitaro was acting as a middle man

Thats true, Kitaro was just a distributer for tong turbo's, but they are still the same turbos

the hybrid you have is a less superior one to the one pictured above....you have a s-core rather than a g-spec....the s-core is which its only very slightly very basic upgrade than the original turbo....im assuming you bought your car off tom16v....

i pushed 198bhp out of my glanza once with that same ''hybrid'' turbo,but comparing it to standard ct9 theres not much difference at all,tom didnt keep it long...he rebulit yours recently so it should last...mine blew after about 5weeks of boosting

Blitz LM front mounted intercooler
Apexi avcr type r boost controller
Apexi rev/speed meter (delimited speed)
Greddy e-manage ecu
Full stainless 5zigen exhaust system (no middleboxs/straight through)
Japspeed stainless decat
Stainless manifold
HKS actuator 1.0 bar
HKS fuel cut defender
uprated fuel pump
uprated plugs
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Apexi turbo timer
Blitz sus power air filter
Forge dump valve
Apexi 1.3 high performance radiator cap -->>was the engine setup i ran 1bar daily drive on ct9 and 1bar or higher daily drive on the hybrid(keep in mind the hybrid blew after 5weeks) boost pressure is up to you man,but as said 1bar deffo or if you go over that the turbo may blow(but at least you have 2yr warrenty) stock internals can take 220++ when tuned correctly

I've got this bine on my car.

Its done about 5k miles now still ok. Only running 1 bar and it made 202bhp. I was thinking of increasing the boost to 1.2 this week. What was you running when yours went?

I guess the turbo's are not balanced very well which causes them to fail?
