whats the difference in the td06-20g turbo between the brands?

I'd hazard a guess and say the 'stamp' each brand places on them. Many ways you can skin a cat, but its still a cat.

some say they have their own better performing wheels, but pretty much all the same shit

GTPUMPS is a Taiwanese Turbo
Forced Performance and Blouch are MHI turbos (meaning japan made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries or otherwise knowns as MHI)

Forced Performance are one of the few Authorised Mitsubishi turbo builders outside of Japan. They use Mitsubishi components and build their turbos in their factory, situated in the USA.

GT Pumps is Taiwanese, and Blouch/Deadbolt apparently build their turbos from new and refurbished parts, although that doesn't mean they are shit.

Much of a muchness, but if the price is all same, go for the FP.

Hi guys,
GTpumps turbos are fully assembled and balanced in Australia and we use parts from various suppliers including Mitsubishi. Forced Peformance, Blouch/Deadbolt do the same thing. 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.

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
