I'll never understand why RA guys still love this turbo
Youve must have not read my next post about me going with a td05. I was just stating I was sick of people like ur self coming into threads about the Rad and start talking about something the OP never asked about. The thread says reviews on Rad not "should I go with a Rad" or "Rad vs Td05".

Do not upgrade the fuel pump. At best, it will do nothing. Ask me how I know.

I agree. Better off just upgrading the injectors.

I ran the BBX Lite on 91 octane with stock RA fuel pump and ID 1kcc injectors. No issue, IDC's totally inline.

Only reason I upgraded to a walbro was to go to E85.

Of course now my fuel system is totally maxed out and I can't go over 24psi up top or the injectors go static.

Around 39Xwhp.

If you don't mind me asking, did you use a fuel-pump adapter kit (if so, which) or did you just to the "rig-yer-own" method from the earlier X days.

i never started the derail, I just pointed out why it (probably) comes up so often - which is the price difference is so small between the two

I've already expressed how little I like the RAD/TD04 on such a capable 4b11t in many threads, I feel no need to bring it up anymore.

I'm happy with increase I'll get with the RAD. I trust CBRD's product over someone's used turbo.

Also, I can keep my current exhaust and intake.

Bottom line, great upgrade that works with what I have on the car already.

Also, I can't get e85 in Montreal so I'll be sticking with 94 octane. So another reason, I don't have to upgrade my fuel system. If I can get 315-320whp and about 360wtq, I'll never really need more than that. It's my DD so:

CBRD Rad lite it is!

Thanks for the input and advice everyone! Cheers.

ps, the rad is an awesome streetie - spool is like stock and gain from 4k onwards. with hill runs, it surprising how it keeps up with bigger hp cars

haven't had a chance to take it to track yet to see what improvements in time from adding the rad and 3 port, but will be out there in june

204kw seems low. I would expect at least 220-240kw with that setup. I have about 210kw without the turbo right now.
