    Yesterday S2 2.2 liter ct4-3bb 58/62 ar 63.Makes 259 hp and 645 nm at the wheels 2 bar boost at 3500 rpm backpressure 1-1 @7000.

    Audi 2.5 liter 1061 hp 1021nm at the wheels at 2.4 bar boost

    None of these turboes has been modified by us the came straigth from comp so i dont think its so bad as pro mo says.
    Yes they send sometimes wrong sizes Turbine housings not perfectly tuned,but il never seen anyone outperform them in spool up and power on the same size turbo.
    To get the rigth turbo to a european car is the main story.and the reason why they desided to make Comp turbo Europe .Ive seen so many totaly screwed up turbo combinations especially to Audis sent from both usa and other European dealers.
    We hope to fix that better in the future.And i never had any problems getting warranty issues fixed.Try to get a garret fixed if used in race cars.And to german guy with the pictures.yes ive seen the compressor wheels like this too and they sendt me a new one.the clamps yes it looks crappy but do no difference.but who else make a 1061 whp turbo that spools good from 4500 and weigth is 9 kilo?same hp garret holset or schwitzer you need a fork lift to get on your manifoldIts not German presision but its definitly not german prices either,and it spools faster


    Sorry for my bad english spelling and som missing commas and stuff
    I never said somethimg about the performance on the cars. I just can´t imagine that they are better than other makes because at first sight they are crappy quality. If we build turbos here we try to build the exact turbine and compressor wheel geometry in the housings for upgrade turbos. We are very sensible on any flow aspects. So we would never build a turbo where there is a gap between the backplate and the wheel outlet as seen on the picture. This is a nogo for performance where everyones tries to make the last hp! There are many things just as you look closely as someone that deals with the things the whole day. I can hardly imagine that comp is better than e.g. Turbonetics. The difference in quality in my eyes is from another galaxy! Above all the CT Units are not balanced dynamically. The only way to survive this is to put ceramic ball bearing in it because cbb can withstand 10 times higher force than the journal bearing!

    I´m really surprised that the CTs work that well!

        im not shure either but it migth be that we have been wery lucky then.we have swapped out several gt35 and precissions,and always been better from low end or more at the top,sometimes both.But im shure a kkk will do more milage than an american brand but its sometimes wery expensive and wery little options in size.just the exhoust kkk housing nr 8 cost 60 % of an complete unit-Last years european champ in rallycross uses comp.they tried 5 times the moneyy kkk.s an garrets but still made more power with the comp unit.

              In some cases Garrett turbine housings fit right on.

              I agree with KRB, when CT is good it's freaking good. I think I have personally proven it multiple times.

              Still, I receive lot of requests and questions about them, so I had to announce this public.

              The quality control just isn't there, so Selling CT cost me five digit number of euros in the past two years, and I had to quit.

                @ Kai Bakken: Mr. Isachsen doesn't mind using one turbo cartridge every weekend, 99% of the ordinary users do!

                  He dont use one complete turbo every weekend not chra either but a turbine wheel and housing is usually what ends their lives in a weekend.the reason for that is that they are running almost 0 gap on turbine.that makes it spool like Sverre likes.the anti lag with minimum 1.8 bar boost for 3-5 minits in a row is not so easy on turbines either.same **** happens at garret bilets that cost 4 times a comp.it makes less power with the garret too.
                  On our car we used same turbo all last season and im happy with thatsince i have to pay for them

                        I am sorry to once more wake up this discussion, but as I have not been CT representative for a year now, I think it is time for me to announce, that I no longer support or consult people in this matter.

                        I am posting this as after a few weeks of not visiting here I have inbox full of questions of CT.

                        So if You are about to purchase a CT item, please contact mr. Bakken at KRB trading. He is extremely nice person, and knows his stuff better than I do, so please, go ahead and talk to him instead of me. My wisdom in CT stuff is aged and biased anyways, so he is better in that way, too.

                        For old customers I will give full service also in future. Of course.

                          It's a shame to lose access to all that ct knowledge however if your not selling them then I can see the questions still being asked being an issue

                            That's very kind of you.
                            I purchased one CT from you and service was very nice. I still haven't used it, but I am glad to know that you are still avaliable in case of any doubt.
                            Cheers.

                              Yeah I am a newbie here but not on dsmtuners. I did the same thing gave them my specs and everything. Above post describes my issue to the tee. For some reason I keep sending My comp turbo back like an idiot hoping they can fix the problem each time it end up costing $300.00 plus. From oil issues to no boost to low boost to boost limitation, I remind you all these issues are with a brand new turbo. I have played around with several turbine housing 4 to be exact all made by comp and still have issues with their turbos. They have an awesome advertising scheme and I think this is where we all get sucked in. I am constantly on the phone with Justin and Joe and I will tell you they know exactly what to say to keep you calm. Their customer service is the worst I have ever exeprienced. Each time I send my turbo back it takes at least 4 to 5 weeks to get it back into my hands. This is just a daggumm shame. I am waiting once again for my turbo to be repaired by them and this time is the last time I will send it back I have been dealing with these turbo issues for almost 2 years
