The truth here is that Martymill is a VTT reseller so of course he's going to slate the China turbos that price VTT out of the market. I've had VTT turbos and I went China turbos.

b4llistic is the guy who complained about cheap turbos he got. Got a full refund and then sold them to someone else. Sounds like a stand up guy.

Supporting manufacturers and the communist regime that blatently rips of other peoples ideas and infringes on patents with full disregard for others.

Nevee ever I will buy or support the use of any Chinese products and it should be banned on these forums.

You should be supporting local jobs and only buying from local companies.

So... you've never bought a VRSF product? (Which are Chinese)

The problem with most of these cheap turbos is the inlet snout, the silicone style hoses haven't got much to bite on, eventually slip off and will cost you
just as much in the end as quality ones as you will spend a lot more money on labour.

It doesn't pay to buy this Chinese shit.

Here is the difference

Not sure where you got the photos of that dodgy compressor housing but that's nothing like the larger 16/17/19t China turbos I've had.

Never did and never will sell VRSF period and since when am I a VTT reseller.

Yes I run their products and can supply them if you want, but I don't actively sell them as acquiring is not cost effective.

Funny thing isn't it? I have first hand experience running these, as do others, we're either all in the same company all with shares, or the turbos are actually quite good.

Here you go Marty, an actual photo of the bigger China turbos (China is quite a big country, there will be more than one factory :D congratulations on finding some from a shitty manufacturer, that doesn't represent all the larger turbos that are in discussion) There is no issue with inlets coming off these:

Clearly all my 'colleagues' with shares in China turbos are also shills. Actually I'm just a fan of them as they've been extremely good for me and many others. Are we not allowed to review a good product simply because it comes from China? (must be in bed with the manufacturer) gets old mate, it really does.

Funny thing is you should go get some Chinese tyres too and go down the drag strip or track, same thing isn't it ?

Don't worry she'll be right mate.

You sound like a Chinese reseller.

Rather push my car than run these even if they were for free, thanks but no thanks.

EDIT: Thanks your finding and reading my post. Unfortunately, Spoolstreet is no longer a neutral platform where we can have honest discussions on subjects and products freely.
For this reason I have deleted all information I posted on the forums.

Both threetirtyfive and moreboost are from the group I warned about earlier.
China good or China bad; either way best put these guys on ignore as all they do is spread lies.
Ah B4llistic, resident turbo thief-offered early buy opportunity, force refund and keep turbos and never fit them but form an opinion just the same. I think people who actually RUN the turbos have a more valid opinion but thanks. :D Keep smoking the dutch good stuff mate.

As I said earlier I’d appreciate all of you not having this conversation... I understand MartyMil and B4llistic have their opinions as does Moreboost and Threetirtyfive, I Understand if you think they resell but the chances are they don’t as that would really impact the Chinese sales...

All I asked for on this thread was inlets not if Chinese companies are bad etc etc...

The extra wire ininforcememt in the vtt is why I recommended them highly, the only other one just as good is rb's which i also would recommend above anything China has to offer but don't for personal reasons only.

Pick what you want but I've seen a number of Chinese brands collapse under boost chocking the turbos.

They are fine on the flow bench where there is no heat, but once they heat up and when they are squished into the engine bay between the engine and firewall is when they fail.

Just because they look the same is where the similarities end.

This is a bitch of a job which you only want to do once, so pick your poison.

I don't have to shit on their products the video shows how weak it is.

I'm trying to help you guys avoid costly mistakes others have done, these silicone pipes become like butter under heat especially at the front of the motor.

Do as you please you were shown, now make your own minds up.

This is a bitch of a job you only want to do once but if you like throwing money away go right ahead.

Glad to see everyone ignoring my message about stopping the arguments. I’m in talks with VTT & MTC & Chinese sellers all finding which one is the quickest and most cost effective
