If that is truely a GM specific KKK-K04 then they must have used a different manufacturer. There doesn't look to be any BorgWarner emblems stamped anywere

Just look at it how could it not be . It is the new Regal GS turbo. Same thing a little different hardware...

Some guy who works at one of the plants said his dad seen a huge pallet of these things sitting in the stock room with Mitsubishi on the big box. This was a month back or more.

GM has Mitsubishi building them ... it has been figured out now..

With an upgrade like this i should see 350-60 to the wheels as that is what guys are getting with a GT28RS. I can't wait for this!!! Soon I'l be able to start kicking some SS/TC ass ;).

GT28 is a hair bigger than the k04. Id expect it to make no more than it does on a cobalt ~330whp

The 1.8T is pretty much maxed out in mods for stock turbo, including rods. Its ready for a big turbo but I don't want a big turbo, all I would need to do is get a custom manifold, custom DP and coolant lines to use the LNF's turbo(wish I would have never sold my k04+ from btf). Just make a quick search for 1.8T and GT28's and you'll see that there dynoing around 350+. Either way, after that I'm selling the car for a SKY redline, I hate this POS i just keep myself busy for now.



Be optimistic. I don't have an SS/TC now(wish I did) but back when I bought mine in Aug 08, Synapes Turbo made a kit with a GT2871r that made 372whp I believe??? pychostevo had a guy make 384whp with his tuning. Yes those setups were not the best and laggy but the turbo can make that power. Come on, you should know that with a good custom tune you could make that or more, not 330whp. I'll get back into the LNF soon enough, just want RWD.

Completely incorrect information.

The LNF turbos are made by Borg Warner. They are stamped Borg Warner and use Borg Warner components. Not crappy Mitsubishi.

I believe they are produced in Hungary.

Your comparing what people are making with a slightly larger turbo than the k04 and think that your gonna pull it off with the small one. Thats like saying lnf's with a s256 are making 500whp but im going to do that with a s252 knowing that it wont support more than mid 400whp.

Now i dont know how having a smaller displacement engine will effect things. Id imagine it would make the same power as the lnf but maybe not die off at 5500rpm, maybe like 6000rpm instead.

I think the mitsu turbos was reported to be being put in the buick regal perhaps. The box of turbos was seen at a gm plant or something.

I started the thread to talk about the new LNF Mitsubishi turbo but it ended up being about the Forge BPV. Its all good though as long as the community gained something from it.

The new LNF turbos are Mitsubishi TD04L-19T's, with a redesigned metal BPV.
