bottom line is GReddy has used Mitsu turbos for years & many people overseas seem to enjoy using them. ppl in the US don't like them bcuz it seems every1 over here prefers drag racing where a journal bearing doesn't work that well in that application unless it's a t78 or larger. in road racing, however, it appears that all the top evos in japan run other turbos that ppl in the US will not spend the cash to get. Cyberevo uses the Apexi RX-6 kit. it works well for RR, but not for drag.
i don't see what the problem is in choosing a turbo that no one else (in the US) is using especially since we have Japanese cars. besides if anyone really wanted the best Garrett turbo for their car, they would spend the cash & go with HKS. they take all the strong attributes of the Garrett design & make it BETTER!
use whatever turbo u want to use, but if there is no originality or individuality in your design/application then we might as well all be called cattle... mooooooo
if the guy wants a GReddy kit, let him make that decision

Greddy kits were never a bad kit, kits are just out dated. jounrel bearings are going extint anyways. esp now that were seeing more twin scroll turbo kits popping up. I would Suggest any Garret "gt series turbo.
I've run a 35r on my evo some a while now and the spool power and noise never get old.
Good luck whatever you decide.

i'm still unfamiliar with any Japanese car that has come factory with a BB turbo. journal bearing turbos are outdated which is funny to hear cuz if u crack open an evo turbo that is exactly what it has-journal bearing in a twin scroll config...
u want a new high tech turbo?? u get a VNT (variable nozzle turbine) factory on Ford Super Duty diesels, '07 Porsche 911TT, need i go on???

not superior, but its the choice car makers use when they need longevity. i'm not knocking BB turbos, i'm just merely pointing out that they only last 1/2 as long as a journal bearing turbo which is y u don't find them on factory setups
Guy at a local shop here has been running the Greddy T-67 set up for a couple of years now without a problem. His car was in one of the DSport(?) magazines a while back. He has made low 500 awhp on pump and upper 580's on race gas......I run the Apexi RX6 kit and so far love it. I currently make 449 awhp & 376 tq @ 21 lbs. on 93 octane. I purchased the kit new for $2700.00 back in November or December. Apexi was wanting to move these kits a while back which is why the price was so low. When these kits first hit the market they were 6k
