Tomei's new ARMS M8280 Bolt on kit for single turbo 1JZ's

I'd love to see some real-world comparisons of this Tomei turbo compared to stock. Sure, there's dyno sheets above (which contradict that the replacement turbo has the same response, clearly there's a torque hole on the graph compared to stock), but generally, a GT35r sized turbo is gonna be significantly lazier to respond than a 3076 (i've run them back to back for info). I know the newer generation turbos are much more efficient than the older toyota design, but its still a BIG jump in wheel size regardless.

Seems they might be built to a price to some extent also, having stuck with journal bearings rather than new gen ball bearing cores?

Still excellent value for money though, i'd not hesitate to try one

Cool, thanks for that link. Interesting to note that vehicle in Japan runs an Australian Haltech ECU hey.

Yeah i noticed that, quite a interesting video. Japan doesnt have many good ecus, Power FC is outdated and most of the others are piggypack computers.
