RNR Turbo kit REVIEW

Well I am here to write a review on RNR about my buying experience from them. The kit took a while to get to me about 5-6 weeks to be exact but I did add a ported S cover to my 35R just as it was ready to ship out probably would have been here in 4 weeks. Turned out Ryan took good care of me for my troubles. When I received the kit it appeared everything was there but as I pieced it together I noticed a few things were missing. I pmed ryan and he sent the items 2nd day. After I had all my parts to install I took it to Billet Design here in South Fl. They were impressed with the spool of the kit over some ATP kits they have installed. The only thing they ran into was the drain line didn't fit and they had to buy a new one. All in all I am happy with my purchase. Sure RNR could have better communication but I am sure they are busy guys. Ryan is a good guy and really tried to do what he could to keep me happy and as I know I can be a pain in the *** sometimes. This is the pic below and unfortunatly my $150 Black Jet Coat I had done on the manifold is comming off on the runner closest to the block to the right..... I called Armor Tech here is south FL and told them but I am still waiting on them to reply with something..... No numbers yet I am working on that soon.

On a side note.. Lag is definitely something to get used to, at first I thought my car was slower..... But now that I am used to it I can tell it is not.

Another not-so-stellar RNR review. It seems like there's always a few minor things missing or wrong with their orders.
But if you're happy, that's all that matters! Actually, ya didn't say if you were happy or not. Ya didn't post any numbers or gains either..... so I guess this is just an ordering and installation review?

did you not expect your car to be laggier with a 35r?

i wish there was like a shop that had a lot of evo's with different setups so you could see beforehand what your car might be like with any given setup....a guy can dream.

Congrats. Welcome to the 35R club. Ryan, the RNR owner, is a stand up guy and can weld his *** off. Keep us updated with your tuning results. Ryan has been very supportive of my efforts too.

Your wastegate wasn't a bootleg was it? I remember seeing one of their kits that came with a knockoff piece from tial. That alone, would make me weiry of RnR. If you're happy though, that's what matters. Let us know what kind of numbers you get.
