Thanks for clarifying. I was merely stating what had been said previously, about them being made in Taiwan....and from what I've been told a number of times from various sources.

Might be worth while promoting them as Aus made, as a lot of people believe they are built in Taiwan.

GTPUMPS does say in alot of his vendor threads they are assembled in Australia.. although being a TW turbo they are still higher qulaity unlike alot of the EBAY ones where they are $150 jobbies from China that break with the slightest bit of boost...

Put the crack pipe down and show us some dyno sheets to back this up

I could say the same there....

you mean a retune, flowed injectors, full exhaust, intake....even then, closer to 180 than 200..

Hey Mark,

Welcome to Perth-WRX

I think all turbo brands have their own "special" way of doing things. I've been the local WA dealer for Gt Pumps now for a number of years and can honestly say that having Mark "just" in Sydney is awsome. He's got his own workshop for rebuilds/assemblies etc and does alot of R&D before and after new turbo's are released.

Cheers
Abdus

For example we use upgraded thrust bearing system in our 20G turbos because the Mitsubishi bearing is not up to the job. All the turbo suppliers use various parts whatever is the best for the job.

Also we are not just "box unpackers" like the vast majority of turbo vendors in Australia. We offer full local warranty/service and also do rebuilds.

Whatever ASG had 18 months ago. Not sure sorry

Pretty good figure.. my 02 sti only did 190kw at the hubs (ASG) with the vf35 @ 1.5bar tapering off (tbe/fmic/verso)
Spose the car is 7 years old now so fair enough...
