They are the same as Tomioka 19t's and the first VTT GC's.. identical just rebranded.

I'd stay away from them.. just my opinion

Total garbage. Identical to tomikoa. So, just rebranded Zage. Look at the early failures of VTT GC. Complete trash.

Spend the extra couple hundred and get some RB’s or pure.

You can't go wrong with RB's. Email him and he'll hook you up. As far as the Pure's I would stick with the Stage 2 where it requires cores. I have a feeling the Pure 600's aren't manufactured in-house since it doesn't require a core, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Agreed! And Correct ish? I don’t know how the the internals are built, but the housings are of the cheap typical Chinese garbage.

VTT same thing.

💯 Right choice

Rob makes the absolute best turbos for this platform if you're staying with twins IMO. His customer service and quality is bar none..

I went through 2 sets of Tomiokas. Once I had a set of RB’s in my hand, the quality and craftsmanship was light years ahead.
