Still waiting on the shipment of this kit.

 

Well, the fact that the picture in the brochure is a photoshop job instead of a actual picture would hint that they didnt have a real part to take a picture of.

Very nice looking brochure however.

 

Interesting. I would be surprised if it performed much different than any of the household stock-based turbos currently available in the US.

 

You never know, I have seen brochures win races on lots of occasions!

 

I'll pay you $20 if that thing can consistently outperform a Green.

I don't think I want to know how much you paid for that.

 

It's Tomei so it will be very interesting to see how it performs. I spoke with someone at Tomei and according to him, it will be close to the FP turbos as far as price is concerned. As far as performance, it will be closer to the RED than the Green. We shall see. They know that bringing these turbos to the U.S. puts them in competetion with a company that has 2 very successful bolt-on turbos. They better have their "A" game. But it's Tomei, they always have their "A" game. It's great to have more choices.

 

Bring it, better be loaded for Bear.

 

HAHA. You're a funny guy.

 

What is your reasoning for this comment?

 

Merely idle speculation. When's the last time (recently) a Japanese company really turned the Evo world on it's ear? The two companies that come to mind that did that are the FP Green/Red turbos and AMS with their turbo kits (among other things).

I'll admit I could be totally wrong, but color me a deep, dark shade of skeptical.

Perhaps that compressor wheel doesn't impress me...however, maybe that's Photoshopped too just like Tomei and ARMS

And unlike Robert, I think the art direction on that brochure is bad with a capital "B."

Boy, I guess I'm not in a good mood today...

 

There is not question whether Tomei is on their "A Game" for bolt-on stock based turbos in the Japanese market.
The question is: is their "a-game" enough to even be a player against Forced Performance (who is definitely on their "a-game") in the US market.

 

And that's what I wrote, "We will see".

 

I am interested to hear more about this turbo.

 

I'm should makeup a BS company name and make some cool color brochures and create my own vaporware turbo to compete against as a hoax and see how many emails I get from people asking me to compare our FP EVO turbos against the vaporware hoax turbo.

 

Robert,

How much better is the Evo Red than the MIL.SPEC Evo X/9/8 Hybrid Vaporware Mk. III? Brochure to come

Thanks.
