Experience with Kinugawa Billet Compressor Wheels

naynay · 07-26-2015, 10:24 PM

Hey guys,

I'm planning to purchase these drop in wheels for my turbos since I'm going to have them open for a refurb. Does anyone have any positive experience with this brand? I've read that they are top quality on other forums. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Waste of money, upgrade the turbos instead

ive used these turbos in the past with good results, but why not go with a proven solution instead of trying something that there isnt much info on?

im doing a refurb of my turbo and I do not have the funds to go rb. so i thought i might test them out while i have the turbo open

see what happens then. best case, it works and you found a cheap upgrade, worst case, you get to rebuild your engine to take a beating.

somebody installed these a long time ago on a set of turbos and was not impressed with them at all. waste of money. used to be called the "batmowheel" upgrade. search for it.
