define better?

build quality?

warranty support? ease of installation? transistent throttle response? wide open throttle response? resistance to surge? corrected airflow vs pressure ratio? options of bearing and wheel variants?

do you see the issue? so many variants, options, and it's open to interpretation

or are you comparing for a simple flat out which makes more rwkw at 20psi ?

i reckon both are ordinary turbochargers and there are a lot better units out there, but if i had to put money on one of them i would put $5 on the KKR over the atr43

atr43 is alot better overall then the KKR turbos in my opinion. As seen in the hypergear thread there are several results and people that go with it are very happy as if on a budget you cant beat it. On the other hand all you hear about people using KKR is poor performance and having issues with them. Also youll get alot more support with a hypergear turbo as stao is more than happy to help hes customers.

If it's KKR, does it matter where you are? You'll still have to get it taken off and sent somewhere. Stao has a quick turnaround with warranty issues, and will be VERY helpful with troubleshooting and any assistance he can give you....get that from another manufacturer (other than GCG, I'm sure they're just as good)

've got a KKR560 in my 33. Friend has a 34 with stock turbo, both have exhausts, powerfc's, front mounts etc... I can't believe how much more responsive his car is. Mines got more power, but it's much less driveable on the street.

Where you that suprised?

I mean really.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
