Rbs feel like what?
Does diff between stock oem turbos and RB turbos feel as drastic as diff between no tune and post tune?
Or what would u compare it to? I don't really understand the trap times and logs since I've never been to a track. And what is ballpark install fee? Thx

Velvet! Relax dude, you are VERY ahead of yourself if you're looking at RBs. Get FBO (that'll be ~$2k in parts, you need an FMIC + DPs), run the Stage 2+ Maps & if you're still bored after all that, then consider RBs.

Going from FBO + meth on stock turbos, then going FBO + more meth on RBs = that feeling you got when you went from stock to tune.

Just wondering...how much do a set of these go for? Also...installation is how long/expensive?
I wanna go full bolt on but at some point I'm sure I'm going to want more power... Edit: just saw RB's go for around $3,500. Last edited by pimp4cheddar; 06-09-2012 at 09:59 PM.. |

It's soooo much money thooo -- $3,500 in parts + labor. Upgraded Turbos (RBs, ASRs, other option if available at that time) would prob be my last mod. Gonna enjoy FBO for right now & focus on some visual mods.

its really not astronomical in ratio with the power gains you make with them, in the sense that these are the cheapest turbo upgrades and rob does not rape people on the profits of these at all. Im debating getting a set lately.

Lol I don't have a gf so I can pour unhealthy amounts of money into my car, so I did I've decided that my car is gonna stay drug-free, so no meth. I'm gonna try & get a CSL trunk before the end of the summer. Than eventually some VMR wheels & maybe a turbo upgrade next summer OR start saving for the next gen M3

nice wheels for sure, affordable BUT just dont go nailing big bumps in the road with thin tires, they will bend. But still are good wheels. Also, meth is great, i would highly reconsider... This car already makes enough power FBO + meth but i think with rb's id be super happy. The new m3 will be pricey but probably awesome. that or a used gtr of course, if you like them...

I like the GTR, but it's too much of a computer for me so I'd rather wait a year or two after the F series M3 comes out to pull the trigger, maybe ED it. |
