They are NOT, however the only company in the game. You keep mentioning the A4K's dominance. There are other manufacturers who make similar turbos that will handily outperform the A4K. I take it you didn't look very hard before you decided the A4K had unmatched performance. You should have checked out Bullseye. You may know them from the winning truck in the highest-payout diesel race in history which recently took place in Bradenton. Aron's truck ran mid-10's in the 1/4 (and won $25K) with a single 65mm Bullseye charger.

They also make a billet BatMoWheel 63mm charger that will outperform the A4K...for much cheaper. II also makes a 64mm that outflows the A4K.
I know thats part of marketing, make your product look like its the best and such. But what is the most common part of the turbo to break when you run too much boost or over spin it with nitrous? The compressor wheel explodes. With a titanium compressor wheel it will be much lighter, so not as great centrifugal force at super high rpms, and the strength of the titanium vs. aluminum is tremendous. Titanium doesnt fatigue like other metals, which is why its used in jet engines.

That being said, I'm a fan of being different. Those BatMoWheel's look like nothing I've ever seen!!! I'll give them a call monday and see if we can come up with a turbo that will spool fast, but still hold around 600whp and nitrous. If he has what I'm looking for then I'll place an order.
