Plug and play is nice, but Chinese produced knock-off components with no supporting dyno charts to back up the premium pricing does not attract me at least....If you're looking for another option for a quality turbo, look no further than these turbos:
https://pioneering-performance.com/...-custom-cast-manifold-billet-compressor-wheel
Or: https://pioneering-performance.com/...asz-alh-including-custom-cast-manifold-billet
Then if you wanna get even better response, you can upgrade to a lightweight turbine wheel: https://pioneering-performance.com/...gtb2260vklr-upgrade-lightweight-turbine-wheel
The best part of these turbos is that you can use your existing downpipe with this turbo. You do need to purchase the VKLR oil and water cooling kit. https://pioneering-performance.com/...60vklr-inc-gasket?_pos=2&_sid=3708dc409&_ss=r
Good luck with your decision.
Agreed - would be nice if these "turbo developers" could show some evidence of performance using a gas stand and give us some maps to allow some proper matching and tuning to be put into efficient zones rather than quote HP numbers...Plug and play is nice, but Chinese produced knock-off components with no supporting dyno charts to back up the premium pricing does not attract me at least....
Just bought trans/diff/transfer case fluid kits from Blauparts. Any mechanics that can do this in the n/nw side on two 2014 Touareg TDis?
Adam doesn't use/produce Chinese knock off products! Maybe you should do a little bit of searching before you make claims that there aren't any dyno charts.Plug and play is nice, but Chinese produced knock-off components with no supporting dyno charts to back up the premium pricing does not attract me at least....
Check out the above links to see that they're products are developed and made in house.Agreed - would be nice if these "turbo developers" could show some evidence of performance using a gas stand and give us some maps to allow some proper matching and tuning to be put into efficient zones rather than quote HP numbers...

There's a dyno chart on this page:

Or check out their Facebook page to see the development of their cast manifold. https://m.facebook.com/177125342784162/

I have had turbos made by Adam Davidson at pioneering performance a whole decade ago, none of them ever went wrong ! These turbos were driven hard and took the pounding ! As mentioned below Adam is a sound guy to work with and his prices reasonable for trade and good considering the competition from Eastern Europe ! I do not want to start a pissing contest but every problem that arised he dealt with properly this he built a good name for himself rathe quick on Uk forums ! In the end we all get what we pay for, pay peanuts- get monkey !Plug and play is nice, but Chinese produced knock-off components with no supporting dyno charts to back up the premium pricing does not attract me at least....
