I wish we had more data on this "cheap" alternative option.https://m.aliexpress.com/item/328725...st.32872583734 thought someone mentioned these are the same ones sold on VTT just rebranded. Anyone check these out yet?

They are 100% not our turbos.

Every single VTT Stage 2 and Stage 2+ is assembled in-house by us, including all balancing processes. This means we have each individual component made for us. The cast manifolds are sourced overseas (this is not a secret... might be the same exhaust manifold casting), they are machined to our specs and have been for over a year. The compressor housing, again, is our own part number, our own logo cast into them. Bearing housings are machined to our specs, turbine wheels, our own part number, compressor wheels have our own part number (2+ uses a proprietary VTT compressor). Every internal part is sourced from a turbo manufacturer located in the UK.

Anyone is welcome to come down to the shop, check out our balancing/build process. We can walk you through it and show you what's done/how, and show you what we use. Meet the VTT team, talk some friendly trash, have some caffeine and gummy bears, see the shop, see how a turbo is built and how it's balanced. Beat that!

Chris, please PM me (or we can reply in this thread as it may be of relevance to someone) and we can talk options VTT has for my needs... (see mods in my sig) I want OEM fit with your stage 1 wheel, but everytime I try to spec one out either on your site or ECS etc there are just too many options, all tacking on an additional $250 lol and I just don't know what I need.
