Rrm Turbo Kit

i just wanted to say how much i love this kit. now that it is cooling down outside its like a whole new car. SOOO many people ask about it, mainly "is that the car that was in the Super Street Issue?" i surpize SOOO many people with the kit cause my car looks stock. ive had the kit for 10 months now and still a joy to drive everyday. just thought i would vent a little....any other turbo guys feel the same?

btw the Tial Wastegate has to be the BEST thing in the world next to good sex.

RRM!!

Out of curiousity, why are you so wild about the wastegate? It's rare I hear a person compliment a WG.

I like that it's external and a tial, but I hate how loud the damn thing is! People who don't know anything about turbos always think there's somthing wrong with my car. The damn thing drowns out the sound of the turbo spooling. I'm definitly getting it recirced very soon!

Aside from the sound of the wg, I also love RRM's kit! Best mod I ever did!

ya that venting sound is brutal, get it fixed ASAP

Makes the lancer sound a like a ricy civic hitting VTEC

You will love the sound of the turbo spooling after you get it fixed

Are you guys talking about the sound it makes when you blow out the boost? Like the flutter, or the whistle, or the loud pop? Or is this with spooling? im unaware that a turbo makes other noises then spooling or blow offs lol

When the waste gate opens it bleeds the excess exhaust so it doesn't turn the compressor wheel to fast. In this application this excess of exhaust is vented straight to the atmosphere bypassing the exhaust pipe. So it makes a sound. We are not talking about the BOV... we are talking WasteGate... don't forget

LANCERGUY, do u have stage 1 or stage 2, judging by ur specs on ur signature ur stg 1.

If that is true...im stg 2 but im only at 7psi and i dont seem to be as fast as you, i can take RA's easily i know that but i dunno about boxer s and NSX...
