i know a guy who buys KKR turbo's directly from factory in china and he says they are close to half the cost of what otomo charge for them here in australia.

so $200 cheaper will still mean they can make a profit on the turbo. I wouldnt worry about it

KKR560 Style Internal Gated Turbocharger

you bought a copy.

[R31Nismoid]

I dunno why you'd go to the effort of making a 30DET and then use a KKR anyhow to be dreadfully honest.

And ye "style" no doubt means COPY.

[HEKT1K]

are the other turbos on that site legit?

[PM-R33]

Yep looks like a copy to me.

Genuine: http://www.driftgarage.com.au/images/KKR330_sm.gif

Yours: http://www.pcpa.com.au/index.php?main_page...mage&pID=10

ID plate doesn't have any black KKR writing and the actuator is slightly different.

[fatz]

yea the nonus of buying dircet form otomoto is that they have the turbo balanced in australia

[butch]

would anyone run this though ? even if its a copy . though it looks like the pcpa turbo has a benefit due to fact its water cooled as well .. but dunno - G

they all come out of the same factory in china anyway. just send it somewhere in AUS to get re-balanced and see how it goes.

Yeah why copy KKR when you could copy HKS? GuiltToys explanation passes the common sense test. Its probably like the D2 G4 brake stuff. Manufacturing company makes it, sales/wholesaling companies badge it and sell it.

cheers paul . really made me feel better.

Jesus Christ man !

Sell the RB30 due to financial crisis!

That's simply not an option mate.

If you're even close to the average ball park asshole, sell your body or soul first man..

genuine can only be bought from otomoto and their official kkr distributors.

well good luck with it mate, post up some dyno sheets if you stuill go ahead with it.

there are KKR "style" turbos on ebay for quite cheap

[Adriano]

Why would they give a refund, its not incorrectly advertised, just get it balanced locally, you will still be ahead.
