What Is the Kinugawa TD04HL-15T Drop-In Turbo for the 3000GT VR4?

The Kinugawa Ball Bearing TD04HL-15T is a direct drop-in turbocharger upgrade engineered specifically for the Mitsubishi 6G72T twin-turbo engine found in the 3000GT VR4 and Dodge Stealth TT. It bolts onto the factory exhaust manifold and dump pipe, retains the stock intake pipe, and reuses the original oil and water lines — no new piping or custom fabrication required. This is the most straightforward power upgrade available for the 6G72T platform, delivering up to 413 whp / 410 wtq at 19–20 psi on a stock block with conservative tuning.

Real-World Result: 413 whp / 410 wtq on a Stock 6G72T Block

The 6+6 billet compressor wheel spools faster and suits pump-gas street builds targeting ~400 whp. The 11+0 blade is better suited for high-boost E85 applications. On a stock 2-bolt block with cast crank, conservative timing, and stock intercoolers, this kit produced 413 whp / 410 wtq at 19–20 psi on a summer day.

Note: Maximum power figures are calculated based on the choke flow of the compressor map (total turbo capability) and represent potential flywheel power. Actual results depend on vehicle modifications and tuning/calibration. WARRANTY — Kinugawa Trouble-Free 1-Year Coverage

Kinugawa Turbo Systems offers a Trouble-Free Warranty for 1 year from the purchase date to the original purchaser. If your turbocharger fails or develops any issue, return it for a free overhaul, recondition, or replacement (subject to availability). Full coverage, no exceptions.
