Turbobandit

[[RPM]]

any info or feedback on this turbos?
they have some funny videos on youtube...
and they say its not China turbos

for ex:

Ideal for cars that can not use twinscroll such as 5cyl Audis and even later BMW 24v engines due to steeply angled motors elimintating the possibility of a twin entry turbo manifold configuration Recommended for 500-650hp vehicles......623EUR

Compressor housing
0,60 A/R
Inducer 60,5 mm
Exducer 84 mm
TRIM 51
Inlet 102 mm
Outlet 2.5”
360 bearing

Turbine housing
0,70 A/R
T4 undivided flange
Exducer (outlet) 65 mm
Inducer 75 mm
Outlet 3" V-band
Oilcooled only

Incl: V-band flange and gaskets

Many use divided housings with I5 engines and they work perfectly fine.

That one is t4 flange. Non divided
Anybody knows them or know somebody that uses their turbos?

[Thuppu]

Yeah, I know, but the text says "ideal for cars that can't use twinscroll turbos". On a I5 engine you can use twinscroll(divided turbine housing) without problems. You only not get the benefit of the twinscroll housing geometry because you can't use a divided puls exhaust manifold.

I would thought that a twin scroll or divided flange would work better on a even cylinder engine 4 or 6
probably that's what he is referring to in the case of the i5

I don't see any links...

Why not take something that is proven?
Such as a HX35 Super for 770 euros

And a link with some info about the car (swedish only ): http://www.garaget.org/?car=172197

Says absolutely nothing about the turbos though.
I doubt the guys make their own, so what parts do they use? Garrett?

If the question is the price - a HX35 will easily provide you with upto 470hp for 690 EUR.
HX35 Super is 790 EUR.

KKK K26/K27 hybrids can be had for 580 or so I think...

i'm always open to new ideas

It's a lot of audi i5 turbos here in Sweden who drives with turbobandit turbos, and it works fine,. Over 2,5 bar boost for multiple seasons.. I think they are a better option than the holset turbos. I know no one who has had problems with them.

The T3 non-divided turbine housing looks like a copy Garrett casting. Casting roughness is different though.


Look at the shape of the inlet, both scrolls aren't alike and i don't like the dents neither.


T60 line-up all use 76/65mm 12 blade turbines just like the HX40.
The CHRA looks familiair but i don't know what make it is, No Holset AFAIK.
The spherical bearing design is something i've have never seen before:


I do know i wouldn't piss of that Russian owner Roman, that guy is completely insane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP5CtDmTIpc

Whoopsie forgot about mentioning part II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4APY...eature=related
So, fine turbo's.. good pricing.. no China parts, only quality Turrrbinaaa judgeing by these fine pieces of footage.
