Default aurora turbos

Ok well i havent really found a thread that talks about the pros and cons of aurora turbos. I know the purple paint dont mean anything, but why would you want a non wastegated turbo versus a wategated turbo. Next do they hold up and work well, and are they street friendly or just for pulling. The reason i am asking is because i havent really hear anyone talk about them so i dont know anything about them. thanks

My bud has a A5K on his Dmax and that thing runs like a raped date... Granted with the purple paint he did pay for it but he hasn't had any issues with it and he uses it for pulling and on the street. I thought the 5k would be way to doggy on the street but that turbo spools good.

Being from the southwest, I have to disagree completely with all the bad rep ATS has gotten. They're warranty is awesome, and I have seen it in action, right now they are fixing a friends transmission for free after he blew the output shaft.

My best friend, is running a A4K on his 7.3 PSD and that thing gets it! Newly Tolf out of Durango CO, is running a fully built ATS engine with a ATS tranny, and a A6K turbo, and he placed 3rd at the Desert Diesel Nationals in Arizona earlier this month. I know a few more cummins guys running their products and they all perform just as well as the other name brands, and when something does break, ATS takes care of them

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

White duramax (791 hp w/o spraying) is Newly Tolf. Fully built ATS engine and tranny running dual ATS CP3s and a A6K turbo.




Grey cummins (500hp), A4K Turbo and built ATS tranny, blew the output shaft on his last run, and is going to ATS next Tuesday for a new one, fee of charge
White powerstroke (418hp), A4K turbo setup, built ATS tranny, and at ATS right now having a fully built ATS engine put in

White cummins (799 hp w/o spray), ATS built engine and tranny w/ A4K over A7K compound set up. He popped a piston and still ran a 12.1 and ATS repaired his engine for free
