Do it once, do it right.
I have read some good things about the kinugawa turbos, but I have also read that they make less power than their branded counterparts and take longer to spool. Anybody able to weigh in on that?

I've also considered an EWG setup, but have also not seen a solution that fits our RHD vehicles as all the off the shelf solutions hit the steering shaft.

Yep, ball bearing vs journal bearing is something I have read a little about. Still not sure which turbo options have this and which don't though, most seem to be billet but with a journal bearing.

Thanks for help so far.
