"Kando Dynamics" TD05?

[boostboy76]

Just found a TD05 on ebay being offered by a seller called "Kando Dynamics" (apparently from Japan?)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turbocharger...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41505a0511

Has anyone purchased anything from these guys before? Are they dodgy, and just a Chinese seller pretending to be from Japan?

Would I be better off just buying a new TD05 from GTPumps or similar?

and pay twice as much?

Jesus, see what you mean evopwr - I just looked at the GTPumps website (haven't bothered for a while as I haven't been looking for a new turbo until recently)

$1250!!! ..... compared to $689 for the Kando Dynamics TD05 16G!!:blink:

I've read quite a few threads on here in relation to Kando... They have all been positive.
He seems to have the goods, at a reasonable price and from all reports the gear is also good quality.....

i have the td05 -20g from them and have had for nearly 2 years now and i have had no problems with it.
on the dyno mine makes 205.5awkw and car has run 12.6 - 110mph

He is listed in Japan, but his Turbines and Compressor wheels are Taiwanese. They're of reasonable quality though, I run one of his TD06SL2 Turbines and 20G compressors (In an MHI core and OEM housings though).

My Big 16g I bought new from GT pumps. Same Turbo from Kando I believe. I've bought lots of stuff from Kando and it has all been good.
The good thing about GT Pumps is Mark is good to deal with, and is obviously in the same country so if any problems he is "right here".

Just get a genuine MHI one from forcedperformance. With the current exchange rate, it works out pretty damn good.

Approx $800 delivered for the EIII Big 16G
Approx $1100 delivered for the HTA68

Bought my TD04L 13g from them never had any issues

Apparently 47lbs/min. With the right setup, they'll go beyond 300kw@wheels

We use TD06-20G from Kando about 1year. It's OK.
