GavinVTEC Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Is anyone here running these? Looking for feedback on these as they are on sale and I might purchase. Not looking for the usual comments about it being eBay stay away etc, only want genuine information. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ROTABOOST Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Knowing usual Toyosports manufacturing it will just be a dressed up Chinese turbo. Like the manifolds I'm sure it will perform ok but the question mark comes up when you look into longevity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Do u mean the speedvision ones? The ones with SPEE written on the side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GavinVTEC Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yes its identical to the Speedvision.

It is bigger than factory one. 300-350hp . it works with original manifold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GavinVTEC Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I know the info on it is amusing im just looking for feedback from someone that has one seen as they sold alot. I emailed them about the wastegate size and they said they didnt know as the turbos are in their warehouse. Im just curious to see is the wastegate too larger or is it just another ct9 with a bigger compressor housing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 if it were me I would send of a stock ct9 and pay liam d to hybrid that for me.that way you have done it properly and have a valid warranty etc.do skimp to save a few quid as it wont pay of dude.

Turbo Goose Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Think a fair few have had success with these turbos tbh. Theres been a couple stories on fb about 1 or 2 not lasting long but suppose is 9/10 going to be fine. Id also imagine getting a CT9 hybrided by a turbo company is going to be bloody expensive compared to buying one off the shelf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Look for a tongs gt turbo or scottieboi has a blitz k1 ct9 turbo I would pick no other unless you want to go bigger turbo all together even a rebuilt stock turbo imo stay away from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzadude Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 But wouldn't you think most of the blitz k1 turbos are rebuilt at this stage so they are not genuine also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GavinVTEC Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Anyone any experience using these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 But wouldn't you think most of the blitz k1 turbos are rebuilt at this stage so they are not genuine also?It's obviously going to depend on what's broken but most aftermarket parts such as the k1 are based on genuine Toyota parts all they might need is new bearings which still makes it genuine yet with say these toyosports will they really have any genuine bits in them.. they are just universal crap riding the market.

Batters Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've got one of these atm works fine only bought it as a temporary thing because the my old turbo went and needed something just to get to work and back but don't expect a lot from it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also does it perform well, what boost you running? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Batters Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Don't know about the wastegate size running 0.7 bar runs fine but I don't really push it just got it so I could use the car while I save up to go td04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 silver gt Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I've had used one in the past and waste gate hasn't been ported it's the same as stock, the seals lasted a month or two then started to smoke. If you were to get one tho send it straight to Liam d and then it will last Quote Link to post Share on other sites
