The differences off the bat I can spot, as compared to the Garrett drop-ins, is no ported shroud on the compressor housing and the compressor housing looks smaller. Based on what Tomei does with their ARMS turbos, I'd be willing to bet the turbine housing is much smaller than the Garrett's too.

I am really interested in this turbo. Not only am i looking for the right stock like bolt on turbo, but HKS makes some great products. Im hoping from what i've seen, it will make more power then the Red but spool way soon because of the BB style turbo. More info please!

lol! FTW! i love how some people think that EVERY company makes their own stuff and have thousands of engineers working day in and day out haha. in reality most stuff is derived, if not replicas, of Garrett, Borg Warner, mitsubishi, or HTA billet wheels (which are derived from garrett) haha.

this is a huge advance in the evo world,
for those who have bb turbos know how good response is on the larger units,
and to say something like HKS trying to cash in,
well um 2 different units mate and both made totally different.
all i say is hold back on the power stick mate ..your not pulling any aces nor holding any
FP make serious gear and that is not anything new.
But have you ever seen a bad HKS turbo?
i sell alot of their gear and your right it is expensive,
however it works and works well.
back on topic lads

I understand everything that you are saying. Yes your right I have yet to see a bad HKS Turbo kit, part of the reason for that is because who in their right mind would pay over 5k for a turbo kit thats not even going to break 500 whp. IMO I am just not impressed with HKS.
