I am doing a build at the moment on an MR2 with the CT24947 Comp Turbo. Hopefully it gets full boost around 3k-3.5k I want it for the billet wheel technology.

Comp turbos are garbage. I wouldn't run one if you paid me. They have a high failure rate and sell very few turbos. I had a buddy have 7 Comp triple ball bearing turbos need rebuilt or replaced. Each time he was charged money as well. He had about 7k in failed Comp turbos. He went with a PTE 7675 and made 200 more whp with better powerband and it didn't fail every hundred miles. The Comp turbos also cost him multiple Tuning sessions because they failed immediately. Look him up on Supra forums. 93HardtopTT.

Heres a pic of his setup. Has over 6k miles, been on the car over 3 years, and the turbo has no shaft play. The car isnt really a dd and was down for a bit getting the engine worked on.

Not such a good history. Also as a point of reference these were all triple ball bearing turbos. The best of the best according to comp. He is the only person I know who tried one and it was a multi year fail and a ton of $$$. He is happy as a clam at ~1000whp and perfectly reliable with the PTE now. Car is stupid fast.

Well, I guess Comp turbos don't like 2JZ's? I haven't heard anyone not like them. I know of a few people that are running them, and are making some serious reliable power. It's hit or miss, just like any other turbo out there. Apparently all the people I know that have them, got the good ones lol

What are you trying to say here? That comp turbos are knockoff semi truck turbos? Do you really think a stock twin turbo setup is better in any way on a Supra than a properly sized single?
They were getting him for "repair" costs and shipping since it wasnt thier fault and any warranty requires shipping two ways. He didnt want to give up right away and the more money he had wrapped up the less likely he was to cut and run until it got way to silly.

To answer the strange questions, no I would never consider a stock turbo system to be better than an aftermarket system unless the aftermarket system was defective... I'm saying supra owners love to go with giant semi sized turbos,
