I think Colin (Claymore) may have used them.

I've got 20t housing & compressor wheel from them, & the quality & engineering is brilliant. The exhaust turbine I bought from them is awful & looks like it was ground with a 12" angle grinder to balance it

Im still wary of them. Been looking at there actuators
s60 2.4 t5 eibach springs,up rated rear anti roll bar, poly bushed wishbones, poly lower engine mount, fmic, bmc air filter, 3" decat, 2.5" stainless exhaust,hlm remap 328bhp,

i have one of the actuators on my 850 and it seems to work flawlessly

I've been told they were made of butter/chocolate. I wouldn't waste my money.

I have a 19t comp housing and super back wheel upgrade, I'm also have their adjustable wastegate. However it hasn't been tested yet. Hopefully in a month or so I will know!

mines fairly pushed, I run 21 psi. Only hit 19 on the rollers but hit 311bhp so not bad for a "cheap" turbo. also get pushed quite hard on the road, very impressed to be honest

Just ordered the adjustable actuator, & springs upto 1.7bar
ive got a 19t upgrade kit of them to fit a 16t, comp housing machined for 19t wheel, 19t wheel, and actuator, apart from a slightly dull finish on the wheel the quality looks top, deffo not made of butter/chocolate! and at the end of the day if it dose ££££ its self its just one of them things and worth the risk for the price imo
cheers

The most powerful 850 on the forum uses a Chines Turbo, (Shortly to be using two) as does the Volvaxo, with no problems, just make sure you have the correct oil pressure.

Ive got a Kinugawa 20t turbo, Had a good look over it, quality looks spot on. Before buying it, it did lots of reading on various forums, only a couple of post saying don't buy but loads saying how good they were. Seem to be very popular on Jap cars. After reading I was happy to part with £519.
