Just passed 9K miles with the Kuro, it's been super reliable since Day 1 :)

Daily driving, 2 track days and 3x autoX events to date. I was hitting 176kmh on the front straights at Toronto Motorsports Park when the car was stock, with the Kuro I've seen it briefly touch 192kmh on the same straight. Low 190kmh is F80 M3 territory, C7 Z06 just creep past 200kmh for reference.

All in all, very happy with the upgrade and I know my 406whp is nowhere near the potential. Street MAF, stock fuel system, and ok gas quality with no access to ethanol are my limitations

Yes I do plan to. Hopefully I’ll get it next weekend but could take longer.

Hey Vincent,

How does this turbo compare to MHi stage 2 turbo?

Curious as I am looking to get a replacement for my car and the price of Kuro seems appealing and if it is available now, rather pull trigger on this instead of waiting for RV6 which won’t be available for another 2months.

Would I see any gains or differences between Mhi and Kuro?

They are similar in size, the two main differences between the Kuro and MHI is our Kuro uses a pont milled wheel on the compressor and is a ball bearing unit.

Thanks Vincent for the information. In layman's terms, is the fact that the Kuro is point milled and ball bearing better and if so, in what way?
