Hi all,

Has anyone had any first hand experience of Kinugawa Turbos? I am interested in one of their products but would be interested to know if they are cheap Chinese tat or good quality.

I know a few people who have brought from them and the quality looks very good. I know people say buy cheap pay twice but a lot of the things made for the expensive companies do come from china. You still have to be careful as some stuff is shocking.

I had a kinugawa rear housing on my gt3071r, worked well and the machining was easily a match for the garrett item.
I can't comment on their complete turbo'd but I should imagine it wouldn't be to difficult to fit genuine garrett bearings

Thanks guys, been reading up and they seem to have really mixed reviews.

But then, so do a lot of turbo manufacturers! :)

i've used one of their rebuild kits in my T25 an the quality looked good on the components. I've not run it yet so dont know how long it will last!

These guys are Japanese, not Chinese. They are one of the biggest after market suppliers in Japan. Quality should be very good.
