can't wait to put them on...are you planning to redyno any time soon? what max boost do you run on yours?

I'm looking for 500whp on race+meth (dual CM7 nozzles) with these for the 1/4 which is 100whp difference from my last dyno session on 94 pump + 50/50 meth single cm7 nozzle (402whp vs 262whp baseline with boltons and procede in stock mode)...

hopefully 10.99s (not likely with my 60' and 6MT but who knows)...but 125mph+ definitely or I'll push the car off a cliff

LOL especially with my karma

I'd love to get back on the dyno, i've been insanely busy every weekend though. I will get re-dynoed before winter is over for sure though. I'm running around 17-17.5psi on pump gas as my daily setup.

93 pump + meth right?

SHIV needs to help me launch this car

I'll have the AR line lock kit installed..it'd be great if the solenoid for the linelock could "somehow" be wired into the tune so I could brake boost somehow

93 only at ~17-17.5psi. I do have meth, but haven't been using it really. On meth I can easily run 19+ with maxed out timing

updated the original post...

Total price is $3820 (+$200 optional all 4 oil lines which in all likelihood aren't needed)..

Canadian dollars right? Congrats man!

Upgraded half shafts? ** Edit - I see the DSS axles in your sig ** Thanks for the pictures and can't wait for more info and data once they are on the car.

I'm thinking about this upgrade, but I also add to those costs the DSS half-shafts, M3 suspension bits, and the need for a better clutch. So for me it's a big jump in $ from where I am now.

DSS axles have been on for a few months now...

You don't need the rest (except clutch) with the turbos but they're good to have..

My RB's are sitting in my garage, awaiting all the Tischer parts to come, hopefully this Tuesday. You got a good price for the install I must say.

I am hoping Shiv releases 6MT Turbo auto-tune maps based on the latest beta firmware/map - that would be the icing on the cake for these. Please Shiv

Unfortunately my meth is not working actually it never did, same Labonta failsafe issues others have had - so this will limit performance unless I fill up with race gas.

Please share your install experience if you get it done before me, otherwise I'll do the same. I am wondering if we will have to modify settings in Procede due to the new wastegates.

I am running the beta maps and they work perfectly fine! My turbos are very similar to the RBs one.

enrita, what procede settings are you using for the Beta maps on your upgraded Turbos?

Thanks,
