I am going to vent a little, but i think you will happy to hear this. So I have been waiting for Tomei to develop new turbos for the EVO X and the Twin scroll Subaru Turbo. It has been delayed for quite a long time and I have been harassing and calling Tomei for the exact ETA on these parts.
I found out what their problem is, here is a brief summary on each turbo.
Twin Scroll set up for the Subaru GDB/GRB. They had a unit back in the day, but they weren't happy with the performance, the spool up time and the overall horsepower numbers. So they developed a new setup, and after testing their new unit, again they were unhappy and now spending thousands of dollars testing and developing a new turbo, they are scrapping it and starting over. That also means a ton of time and money lost, but the sad thing is they scrapped the design, but that crappy design is being sold through other channels. So if you see a twin scroll set up out there, it is their rejected style. Good luck with that.
EVO X turbo - it has been delayed for quite some time, I was just sent pictures of them testing the turbo vs different options. They are testing it against the GT3076R, HKS GT2, and the FP Black. So until they find a turbo that is better, they won't be releasing crap. So you know when you buy Tomei, you have a trusted supplier to has designed and tested their products to the highest standard.
TOMEI EVO X turbo being tested on the dyno.
They even went out of their way to buy and test their competitors turbos! Crazy guys.
So hang in there everyone, Tomei will be releasing this turbo soon, it will be worth the wait!
