Mtq were also impressed. 7 days delivery from Japan was good aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggernaut Member 71 Member For: 15y 6m 9d Posted 17/12/13 04:30 AM Share Posted 17/12/13 04:30 AM Quality looks very good.I'm surprise how thick the turbine compressor blades are compared to the non-billet style blades. I've not seen any billet compressor wheels in the flesh so I don't know if this is typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinks it like 1mm vs 0.8mm. Edited 17/12/13 11:55 PM by turbotrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfwd Member 103 Member For: 13y 25d Posted 18/12/13 02:18 AM Author Share Posted 18/12/13 02:18 AM It felt really light in my hand. I havent felt the standard so I couldn't really compare. In their website they have exact weight of the standard and the weight of the 11 blade and it's 13 percent lighter. It's currently in the car running. Sounds bloody nice. Car isnt fully tuned. Competing 3inch to 4 inch intake upgrade especially when I have . 70 ar housing and a dual 3.5 cat upgrade. Then running the full tune... Simon from extreme ford recommended those upgrades before completing the proper tune. The spool sounds so much deeper than previous. Probably the . 70 ar housing.

bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 3m 15d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 17/06/14 07:14 AM Share Posted 17/06/14 07:14 AM Ok fellas, Im about to ask a few Q's and have a f*cking rant also so bare with me!I'm looking at getting the Kinugawa billet wheel also for the standard gt3540 as the original turbo less exhaust housing I got cheap because it had sucked something through it and fins are ever so slightly damaged but shaft play and bearing are as good as it gets.Who did you guys use to get the balancing done and do most turbo places carry this balancing machine?Reason I ask is today I took this turbo out to two places (the only two in town) in Townsville MTQ and some other hicksville joint that who gives a f*ck about... anyway... MTQ said it will need a new impellor which they will not do or would not touch with a 50ft pole as they cannot provide warranty if I supply the parts? They never have heard of Kinugawa or if they did they didn't say sh*t about it!I told them that the warranty thing I don't give a rats about as long as its balanced then its in my hands and what happens happens (We play we pay right!).So I then went to the hicksville joint where old mate said that "no one does that" and that there is "only two machines in Aus that can balance turbos and at $100k blah blah blah..."WTF is the go here fellas as I want to burn this f*cking city to the ground as it's so useless with everything!I'll mail this f*cking turbo if I have to get it balanced as it was cheap for one and the impellor is also pretty cheap!Can we buy impellors off of garret or are they also cnts?Cheers all,Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
