Tomei Arms 7963(japan) vs 7967(USA)
Hello guys. As i checked tomei (japanese brand) only has the Tomei Arms 7963 turbo kit and the tomei (USA brand) offers a bigger one with name 7967. The 7967 has a little bigger Compressor Wheel (in/out). Does anyone used this? For the Japanese one i have a friend that installed it and he is very pleased. But i was wondering what is going on with 7967.. Any good? Thanks a lot for your time reading this !

Tomei is probably the most uncreative turbo manufacturer there is. And I say manufacturer as a loose term, because they are just recycling other designs, and since the main source for a lot of these components is Chinese, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Tomei is just throwing Chinese parts together and calling it their own.
The 7960 is a TD06SL2 turbine wheel (61mm inducer, 54mm exducer) with a billet 20G compressor wheel (52.6mm inducer, 68mm exducer).
The 7967 is the same TD06SL2 turbine wheel with a billet GT3582R compressor wheel (61.4mm inducer, 82mm exducer).
The 7963 is the same TD06SL2 turbine wheel, but I can't figure out what compressor it uses. The 56.3mm inducer and 75mm exducer ironically are the same measurements as another TD06 turbine wheel, so that might be a typo. If it's not, then the compressor wheel looks to be in the neighborhood of a GT3576R.

However, I have to agree completely with your comment about Tomei being totally uncreative on their turbo designs. The M7960 might work as a replacement turbo if your car is stock and your Evo 8 turbo breaks, but the Tomei turbo doesn't measure up with even the stock Evo 9 turbo design. The M7960 quickly turns into a hot air blower when you try upping the boost. Blouch and FP have far better stock frame turbos. Even Mitsubishi itself outdoes the Tomei with the TF06R 18K turbo.
The "Tomei" label caused me some confusion as well. Turns out that Tomei Powered USA is a completely different company than Tomei Powered, Inc in Japan. Tomei Powered USA products are not designed, manufactured or tested by Tomei Japan.
So be careful you know what it is you're getting if you want to order a Tomei product. I got burned by it.
