I will remove all connections to CT from my side soon enough.
Attached please see the picture of the basic problem with CT. ALL turbos I bought 2009 and 2010 came in like that, and I had them fixed.
Madpugger got a turbo I had fixed at my cost here in finland.
This, along with the issue they never meet their delivery times, never ship out all the items You order, and the constant mess ups with the turbos ended up into a pile of crap that cost me way more the co operation ever paid me.
So those who paid their turbos to me, should be safe. I have had all these issues fixed before I sent the turbos out.
almost as bad as the 034 hybrid turbo's cost me £480 to fix as a brand new turbo because they use the stock heatshield for internal wastegated turbo on an external wastegate turbo. Resulting in the blades scoring against it from no clearance.
Ahh ok, that is not so bad then! Obviously CT not being very good to deal with is not good and it is understandable that you would rather do without the hassle. I just understood from your post that you now thought CT turbos are cr@p! I guess they are before you fix them from the info above however!
Which is exactly the reason of termination of relationship with them, fixing these issues, and making them that way acceptable for me to send further, cost me more than the profit.
All the items CT made good, were good. Up till now, I have had ONE bearing failure of 3b ever, which is sensational.

After negotiations and lot of persuation they came up with a lineup of ball bearing turbos, called the KT-series. (kilipaturpo)
They use only genuine Garrett components, and/or extremely high quality billett comp wheels from third party, but no chinese crap, no brasilian casts, no ductile iron housings, no improper combinations, no lies
I will present them soon enough.
The 740Nm URQ rallycar in the previous thread is equipped with one of the first prototype KT-series turbos.
