Ebay yes, China unsure....why does it matter? I bet if Garrett was made in China (I don't know, is it?) you wouldn't say that. If quality control is equal, there's nothing wrong with something being manufactured in China.

Also I suspect that Kinugawa was manufactured in either Japan or Taiwan

Kando stuff seems fine, though polished isn't really good for anything but rice factor - trying to see the relevence there. I'd consider their products one of my top choices for a build if I didn't already have a decent turbo.

The ATP housings aren't Garrett made etc - they are a solution they have offered and aren't their main crust so its not too surprising that there are very workable niggles. Best option for Garrett turbos at the moment, Kando don't turbo twin scroll turbos and these ATP housings definitely perform very very well on the cars I've encountered with them.

Don't bother trying to use studs, pull them out and use cap screws... Got a turbo with the same housing here and it's no problem.

SO i went and got some cap screws today,

all is good we just had to hand file around that one hole.

here is what we did - post-59990-0-60177100-1310701473_thumb.jpg post-59990-0-36091400-1310701501_thumb.jpg

just woundering i got the same thread cap screws as the studs can i just screw the cap screws into the manifold or should i redrill the manifold and use the nuts on the end of cap screws?post-59990-0-01906900-1310701708_thumb.jpg

This. But make sure there is enough room for nuts on the opposite side.

And yes, they appear to work very very well and reliably for a fraction of the price.

Percentage of the price would be more indicative of the comparison :P

awesome in fact, my new project will most likely have 2 of the 8cm t67 variants hanging off the side.

Ok smarty pants, considering they are roughly 50% of the cost of the average competitors product, the difference could be expressed as 1/2.

Aka a fraction.

Hi can anyone tell me if they have used or know of anyone using the new GTX3794R turbo on a RB engine? And what results.Thanks

The thread started as 'soon to be released' and has documented all known about the gtx range on RB motors. Perhaps read the thread and search the forum, if someone has results they would have posted them.

A quick google search shows why, its a 900+hp turbo crammed into a GT35 housing.

Well what is your take on boost pressure into a factory motor? It is an ongoing debate between those who think its irrelevant and those who think x psi will blow the motor.

I think this is fairly relevant as these new turbos all seem to be designed around big pressure ratios, gtx included.
