Blitz KKK turbo question

[Asia989]

Ive been offered one for a cheap price now would it be worth me getting rid of my s14 t-28 for this turbo. i still need to get the model number off the blasted thing

It's a volkswagen turbo. I wouldn't do it, but that's just me.

KKK turbos are made by Schwitzer (Borg Warner) and I wouldn't do it either.

[Asia989]

yea im going to have to pass and save up for a 2871r or the new tomei arms turbo

[PyR0NiAk]

Good choice

[OM3GA]

tomei arms turbo looks sweet.

[rebornS14]

what's the difference between a KKK or Tomei Arms? they're both journal bearing turbos. put out about the same WHP. can you guys please give details on WHY you wouldn't do it?

[PyR0NiAk]

I know nothing about the Tomei Arms turbo, but I have read enough complaints about the KKK turbo to know that failure isn't rare, and finding a kit to rebuild one is a pita...

[JDizzle]

Go for the Tomei arms turbo, Tomei's are Mitsubishi based turbos. Most likely a TD05 variant, ton of parts around for these if it ever needs to be rebuilt.
