Why are you talking about it?? Get it on!
I think you may get some snobbery as its a cheaper brand but I've seen some quality engineering off them. I'm a fan of the japs quality.

It's to go on my new engine, doing all the bits in one hit, waiting for a quiet time at work so I can play :)

Little bit at a time, I have another surprise but people will have to wait and see if it/they fit

20t me too, building 4 of them currently, one for the 940 and another for the olive and a few spares.

i've got one now bolted to the 15g on BT, but has a 20t in the garage waiting. Plenty of choice for springs

cheers lads , and pfandango if I used the 1 bar spring and plumbed it in so it was turbo to actuator (no bcs) I would only get 1 bar in every gear ??

I like your thinking Daune, that was what I was going to do when I order, is get all the available springs for total flexibility, god knows to what and where it may get fitted in the long run may as well make sure it is totally tuneable

[mitchyboy01]

I used a Kinugawa big 16G turbo and actuator on my T4 and Mo used a 19T on his Saab. Not a bad word to say really. The turbos kits are of excellent quality including all the lines and banjos etc. Customer service was very good and my turbo arrived from Japan in 4 days! Free postage too. I did tons of research before buying and Kinugawa have an excellent reputation especially within evo and Subaru circles.

just buy one & get it fitted man, if you get all the springs you can use it on any turbo you want. As said its already on the 15g, when the 20t goes on just need to change the spring

[MoleT-5R]

consider it bought.....lol well very soon :)

Anyone got a link for it ?

my kinugawa 19t made 320bhp and 360ft lbs on my 850, very happy with it - until ive gone gt30 :)

[leet5r]

what other mods

[mike 850]

Me? Was intercooler, 3" rip, 3" dp, cat back, Japanifold, decat, blues, forged rods, lightly ported head, induction kit, 3" intake, 4.4 ecu. I have the same now but with gt30 turbo and gt500 injectors with remap, got 360bhp 380 ft lbs @ 1.2 bar unfortunately engine has low compression, so off the road doing the rings over winter...

I'm going to bed dreaming of that tonight.

Those are some very good results and that does make me very keen to get mine onto the rolling road to see what it can do, as I have fitted most of those items you mention, but currently sticking with the 15g for a short while longer, hope to change mid 2016, but to what I'm not sure yet.

If you have time to burn, my project thread with different variations

360 was with the chinky gt30, don't think I'd ever of got that with the 19t, couldn't get it above 320 tbh, more boost gave more torque but just wouldn't flow up top

Sorry for the thread hijack

turbos actuators all similar stuff so don't see we're far of topic...lol, but I will have a look at your project thread, not something I'd normally associate with fb tbh

[mike 850]

It was just somewhere to upload photos to start with. I did use a kinugawa adjustable actuator and it worked really well :)
