I bought a used RA turbo so I actually have a spare RA turbo right now (my original one).

My basemap which is all over the place yielded 316whp/290wtq. I think a 350/360 should be the final result hopefully.

I'm in mid-tune with AMS and I'm up 44whp/20wtq from where I was before. I've added a Rad Lite and Grimmspeed 3-port EBC.

Pretty amazing actually. I just put down 331whp@25.4psi

Final tune(well almost at 435wtq..haha I'm sure they'll be a change)! A bit 'peaky' for my liking but I'm still pulling 306whp at 7,400rpm. It makes driving in 3-5k rpm REALLY intense. Slammed in my seat during acceleration. This would actually be perfect for auto-x with all that mid-range power. I'll have to try it out next summer Just wanted to show the potential of the Rad Lite. It can make some excellent power.

Final thoughts, I already had a Ralliart specific everything and the CBRD Rad Lite was an excellent choice. I highly recommend it. It only took 5 hours to install and my car is basically new (just over 10,000 miles) so I kept all the OEM gaskets/bolts.

It makes pretty amazing power and it is a lot cheaper than an X swap. It depends on what you want to do with your car but if you're looking for well over 300whp/350wtq, you can easily do this with some bolt-on's and the Rad Lite!

336whp/435wtq @ 27.1psi (that means I gained +49whp/127wtq with the Rad Lite)
