Hi! I have a 2020 Toyota Supra 2 port which i really wanna move on for my build. CTS have their 2port turbo in pricing wise way cheaper than the Pure850 and no core needed. My goal will be street only, but seems there`s not much review for cts turbo, anyone using them rn? let me know!

They recently came out with it and they made a thread about it on the forum here:

However I think it might take a bit to get actual data and feedback on it cuz it literally just came out. Look at the thread I linked probably few questions will be answered
it’s been out for some time now. There’s data on it too but the complaints keep coming and coming. I think there’s a reason most people are selling their turbo even before installing.

Think its worth it to cheap out on a cts turbo kit. I mean there's nothing cheap about it but compared to other kits its cheap.

If there are complaints and such just to stay on the safe side wait it out a bit so that the complaints gets solved and more data is there just to be safe rather than sorrry.

I mean it’s a china turbo with no so good quality parts, so the whole thing is a cheap product . I guess the same could be said about Pure since many of them have been failing recently too, but at least their warranty policy is a lot better than CTS.

i would also wait a little longer.

I mean if thats the case saving up is better dont you think. For like an ams even though its almost double the price I think its worth it. If ur doing something as risky as a turbo kit better not cheap out, as it could be 2600 down the drain. Better go with something that you know will deliver rather than risking it on a cheap turbo

Many, many, many of the first CTS turbos blew up. Center cartridges failed.

Pure isn't that much better these days. Lots of failures from them as well.

FP Green turbo is probably not much better, but not a lot of information from them.

Remnant turbos aren't out yet, no data there.

AMS kit is ok, but not many people use it because of the price, it also uses the factory wastegate which is sorta limiting considering the turbo size.

In your opinion what would be the best of the current kits which are out, price wise, and performance wise. and the best bang for your buck

Wasn't Jesse working with someone to get a bottom mount kit made? Can't remember who it was.

No.

Are you talking about the Evolution of Speed kit? @Jesse DaBears had nothing to do with it, but I have one. In my opinion, it's the best kit that's currently "available," but OP said, 'Bang for Buck," and the EOS kit is not for someone worried about money.

Did I misread this? If I did I apologize. I know you rock an EOS kit.

Edit: After reviewing I realized I must have made up the bottom mount part or mixed it up a different conversation.

Oh, he was maybe just going to have Mike send them a turbo? I have no idea what the fuck Jesse is talking about there.
